Printable Furniture


"My graduation project was inspired by a shape that was made using an old 3D printer. This principle is 30 years old, but the older machines were not very accurate. By carefully examining that process, one could identify how the shape was being formed: a very thin thread was meticulously moved to and from, building up the shape very efficiently and without waste. The idea occurred instantly: 'I'm going to build a machine specialised in making furniture.' Thick threads of plastic that create a honest ornament by clearly showing how the chair is fabricated ... Endless."--Excerpted from dirkvanderkooij.nl
