A bergamot (Citrus bergamia), with a leaf

A bergamot fruit and a leaf, the house’s own model: the peel’s oil-gland dimples, a winged leaf stalk. Modelled in-house (procedural, in Blender); its size is typical of the material, not a measurement; not a photograph or a scan.

To place it in your room, open this page on an iPhone or iPad (AR Quick Look) or an Android phone (Google Scene Viewer). The files below open in any 3D viewer.

A bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia), the citrus whose peel is cold-pressed for bergamot oil, lying on its side beside one of its leaves. The peel is drawn with the small pits of its oil glands - the oil the press releases lives in them - and the green-to-yellow colour of fruit picked in winter; the leaf has its midrib, its veins and the narrowly winged stalk citrus leaves have. Modelled and textured in-house, from the same forms as the bergamot on the Materials page’s specimen shelf.
