DESIGN EXPLORATION / INTERACTIVE 3D
A new perspective
on every detail.
Explore a double-sided decorative shading fin with perforated surfaces on both faces and a slender, sharply folded edge. Rotate the assembly to see the exterior, interior and support interfaces.
Double-sided perforated fins · sharp folded edges
Drag to rotate · Use the sliders to adjust each fin and zoom · Arrow keys rotate the focused model
