Stepped Planter

Before I could make a concrete mini mill, I needed to learn how to cast concrete.

Building on what I already knew about soft casting silicone, I used this planter project to explore the particular challenges of concrete casting. I also used the opportunity to teach myself parametric design in Grasshopper; this meant that I could play with the number of stairs and have all the other proportions change accordingly.

Materials: Concrete, Melamine, insulation foam
