How are the vases made?

To produce the ICONIC HOME vases, the modern 3D printing technology applied. Each vase is printed layer by layer in a process lasting several hours.

This process makes it possible to create the unusual and filigree structure of the vases while keeping them very light.

We have paid particular attention to sustainability and quality in the material used - an organic plastic made from corn starch.

What material are the vases made of?

The 3D vases from ICONIC HOME consist of Polylactide (PLA for short), which is also known colloquially as polylactic acid and is often referred to as "Bio-plastic" is called. PLA is made up of lactic acid molecules that are produced during the fermentation of corn starch or sugar cane.

Although PLA does not grow on trees or bushes and is therefore produced synthetically, it is biodegradable due to its ingredients and therefore represents a sustainable and more environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastic with similar properties.

How are the 3D printed vases cleaned?

The Vases from ICONIC HOME must not be cleaned in the dishwasher. However, they can be gently washed with lukewarm water.

A lint-free feather duster or an unused make-up brush can also be used for dry dusting.

The transparent inner insert resp the glass insert of the fragrance vases can be cleaned in the dishwasher up to 65° C.

Can I fill the vases with water?

Due to their manufacturing process, the 3D printed vases themselves are not waterproof. Water would leak out through the vase. But since a vase wouldn't be a real vase if you couldn't offer a fresh bouquet of meadow flowers or a beautiful lily a place for water in it, our special waterproof inserts. Each vase comes with such an insert supplied free of charge.

The insert is cylindrical and can be filled with water. Due to its narrow shape, it only has slightly less filling volume than the actual vase. So remember to insert the insert before using the vase with water.

If the vase is only to be filled with dried flowers, you don't need it - but you should of course keep it.

Why are high temperatures not good for the vases?

If the vase is exposed to excessively high temperatures (z.B. in direct sunlight behind a window), the material can lose stability, causing the vase to warp. A series of tests carried out over several weeks came to the conclusion that the deformation can happen, but does not happen in every case.

Nevertheless, we would like to expressly point out that there is a possibility that the vases from a temperature of 40 degrees can be deformed.

Can the vases be used outdoors?

For a celebration on the terrace or in the garden or as decoration on the party table, the vases can be used for a short time also outdoors .

However, they should not be used outdoors permanently. Even for shorter periods of outdoor use, it is important to ensure that the vases are not exposed to strong sunlight.

Are the vases from the 3D printer compostable or recyclable?

Yes, basically yes. The vases are biodegradable and can be composted in an industrial composting plant in a controlled environment using microorganisms. This means that although the vases are compostable, you should not simply throw them on the compost heap at home.

Ideally, however, it won't come to that, as you will hopefully be able to enjoy your vase for a long time to come! If you are still thinking about disposing of it, please get in touch with us.
