3D-Printed Birdhouses

OTHR Offers an Avian Aboad For the Garden Made Using 3D-Engineered Porcelain

— May 14, 2016 — Art & Design
OTHR is a homeware brand that puts together decor pieces using 3D-engineering, including its line of porcelain birdhouses entitled 'Birdhaus.' The range offers 12 different pieces all made using 3D modelling to render ornate pieces much more approachable for mass consumption.

While birdhouses are traditionally detailed homes made from wood to resemble human abodes, the OTHR Birdhaus is much more modern and minimalistic. The house is made in two parts, with a back piece that clips onto a wall or tree. The secondary piece forms the door and slides into the home with a small hole for birds to pop inside and out of. The modernist look transforms the kitschy creature home into an item that is much more stylish.
