About the Series

“Inorganic Garden” explores the contrast and harmony between nature and industry. Wu Yifei reimagines everyday machines—radios and typewriters—as living organisms, merging history with speculative design.

Using Multi Color Resin materials and PolyJet printing, Unionfab helped give these pieces a vibrant, translucent, and lifelike finish.
