Are These Vases Drawn? Dutch Designer Iris Lucia Megens Uses Lines to Create 3D Art!
These vases are actually drawn line by line!
Summary
- Dutch designer Iris Lucia Megens creates 3D artwork using biodegradable resin.
- Skipping preliminary sketches, she builds vases, flowers, and teapots directly with fluid lines.
- Lightweight structures minimize material use, exploring new possibilities in sustainable design.
- Each piece retains spontaneous hand-drawn lines, offering a one-of-a-kind form.
At first glance, they look like casual doodles—but can lines really turn into a vase? Rotterdam-based designer Iris Lucia Megens brings drawings off the page and into the 3D world, using biodegradable resin to “draw” vases, flowers, and even teapots, line by line. Playful lines and airy silhouettes make every creation feel like a piece of art stepped right out of an illustration.

With a background in product design and a master’s degree in design from Rotterdam, Iris Lucia Megens has always been curious about the potential of materials. For her, materials aren’t just tools for making objects; they are the starting point of creation. Rather than relying on preliminary sketches, she draws lines directly in space using special materials, gradually turning flat drawings into 3D objects. From vases and flowers to teapots, every work retains the free strokes of a hand drawing, giving each piece a unique shape.

Beyond striking aesthetics, Iris Lucia Megens’s work is driven by sustainable design thinking. She began asking herself: “Does creation really need to consume this much material?” Choosing to work with biodegradable resin, she replaces heavy solid structures with simple lines, which makes her pieces lighter and cuts down on material waste during production.

Without a heavy body or complex decoration, Iris Lucia Megens uses the simplest lines to redefine the look of everyday objects. These seemingly casual pieces are more than just a blend of art and design; they make us rethink the relationship between objects and materials. Truly impressive design is never about how much material is used, but rather how the fewest resources can create the greatest room for imagination.
