Inspired by plant life
Says Fast Company, who found it: The Xylem Brooch by Nervous System, which was based on a cross section of the circulatory systems of plants. The brooch’s minute details would have been impossible without rapid prototyping.
Says Nervous System, who made it: Veins radiate from three stem points in the center of the brooch, creating fan-shaped zones of growth that ultimately join into one network. The pattern was grown in our computer simulation of leaf venation and etched from a sheet of stainless steel.
