30 Molecular-Inspired Designs

From Science-Inspired Dishware to Microscopic Alcohol Art

— May 10, 2013 — Eco
These molecular-inspired designs take microscopic ideas and turn them into big-impact creations. With mathematical marvels like the Fibonacci sequence, it is no wonder that so many designers look to biology and nature for inspiration; these creations are the perfect meeting place between of science and art.

Many of designs like Projecto's Atomic chair collection mimic the structures found in the smallest of particles, enabling the designs to stretch structural possibilities. These sciencey creations incorporate elements like the twisting double helixes found in DNA and the patterning of cellular structures.

Science lovers and will find themselves transported back to their high school biology class, geeking out over this compilation of furniture, jewelry, lighting and art.
