TEAR
TEAR
Tear, the shape of emptiness.
The vase Tear It is born from the encounter between matter and absence: a full and soft volume, crossed by a central teardrop opening that lightens the silhouette and defines its identity. 255 mm , it has an elegant yet balanced sculptural presence, ideal for enhancing shelves, consoles and tables without weighing down the environment.
The slender line ends with an oblique cut, like a suspended, sculpted teardrop, while the textured, matte black finish absorbs light and casts deep shadows, discreetly emphasizing the curves. More than a container, Lacrima is a domestic sculpture: minimal, contemporary, designed to be displayed alone or with dried flowers and pampas grass.

Who are we?
Shape 3: Where Design Meets the Future
We are an Italian Digital Crafts workshop. At Forma 3, we don't just sell objects: we design and create every single piece you find in our shop in-house, combining the precision of 3D printing with hand-crafted attention to detail.

- Conscious Production: We use only PLA (plant-based bioplastic) . We produce only to order (on-demand) : this allows us to eliminate warehouse waste and respect the environment.
- Digital Precision: We leverage the most advanced technologies to create complex geometries and details that traditional manufacturing could not achieve.
Forma 3 is conscious design: shapes born to last, designed for you.
What is PLA?
What is PLA?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a plant-based bioplastic obtained from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane.
We chose it because it's an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics: it's biodegradable, safe for the home environment, and allows for incredible detail definition. Each of our items is printed to order , eliminating unnecessary warehouse waste.
