Handmade designs of Esseline are applied to textile using 3D printing technology. Hot plastic attaches itself to the textile during this process. The combination of these materials causes a tension that leads to beautiful organic forms.

In 2016, Esseline started investigating whether she could make a lamp using new technology. Many experiments followed; first with small-scale 3D printers and now with a large robot arm. Esseline is a Biomimicry designer. She draws her designs with nature
