“genpot”

“genpot” is a 3D-printed sculptural planter series crafted using a generative art approach.
Each planter is uniquely designed through computational methods, ensuring a one-of-a-kind pattern with no repetition across the collection. This design process makes every “genpot” a work of art as well as a functional planter.

generative design

Generative design is an iterative process often used as a design exploration tool in contemporary art and architecture. Instead of directly constructing geometries, designers configure parameters and conditions to generate infinite designs computationally. Using such methodology, patterns on each “genpot” are generated.

3D printing

With FDM technology, “genpot” is 3D printed out of PETG plastic, a material similar to PET plastic bottles. It is recyclable and weatherproof, no harmful substances are to be released and transferred to the plant even under direct sunlight, thus making “genpot” suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

breathability

Unlike traditional ceramic or porcelain pots, plastic pots do not allow plant roots and soil to breathe well due to the material’s lower permeability.
To overcome the drawback, “genpot” is designed with an integrated mesh structure at the bottom for increased breathability and drainage. Implementing such a structure instead of regular drain holes also eliminates the need for additional mesh pads.
