Love Me Not Tealight
Love Me Not was specifically developed for Designed & Made’s exhibition Love Me Live With Me to encourage its user to pass on the product to a friend. Its leaves are designed to be broken off by the user before passing the product on to a new user. This way every customer keeps a piece of the product that can be worn as jewelry or on a keyring.
Love Me Not is fabricated using an innovative technology, 3D Printing whereby a laser fuses fine plastic particles into one solid object. This technology is still in its early stages but is becoming more and more accessible. Utilising the translucent properties of this new material Love Me Not changes its appearance when in use.
