Project: CoReFab#116

CoReFab#116 is one chair within a series of infinite possibilities. This chair is the result of a computer designed form which is layered with varying patterns, animated and then slowed down moment by moment or frame by frame, such as a frame in a movie or a photographic still.
This frame or moment of computer-animated form is then manufactured through 3D print technology.

Project: NewsKnitter

NewsKnitter is a data visualization project which focuses on knitted garments as an alternative medium to visualize large scale data. The system converts information gathered from the daily political news into clothing. Live news feed from the Internet that is broadcasted within 24 hours or a particular period is analyzed, filtered and converted into a unique visual pattern for a knitted sweater.

Project:The RepRap Project

RepRap stands for “Replicating Rapid-prototyper”, a 3D printer designed to reproduce itself, printing its own parts. A project inspired by open-source ethic questions the entiire manufacturing system. The exhibition will present the first ‘italian’ RepRap, built in Torino by ToDo design studio.

Project: Dendrite, Radiolaria

Experimental custom jewelry, created combining non-traditional materials, like silicon and stainless steel, together with rapid prototyping tecniques. Shapes are inspired by complexity of natural forms, reproduced trough algorithms and computational generative softwares that enable customer partecipation in the design process.

Project: IVY

IVY is a coatrack for people who hate coatracks and wall art for people who hate coats.
Functional and decorative like a plant, it grows all over walls using a single Y shape and a four unique connector types. This way, Ivy lets you design a personal custom configuration, that suits your own needs or whims.

Marc's work experience in France, La Reunion and UK includes ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS, where he was the project architect, from competition to tender documentation, for an experimental Mediatheque in Pau. During his three years on this project he directed the material research and geometrical development for the largest self-supported carbon fibre shell to date.

Project: TISSUE COLLECTION

1 of 1 is an independent design studio that synthesizes fashion and art into one-of-a-kind apparel, made to order in Los Angeles. Each signed and numbered piece results from designer Cait Reas working with a commissioned artist. The Tissue Collection was created with the artist C.E.B. Reas who generated the Tissue images by defining processes and translating them into images with code and software. Cait used a digital textile printing technique to apply the Tissue images to fabric.

Project: Cassius e Earthbowls

Usually it is the designer the one defining the final shape of a product. In these two projects, FLUIDFORMS include the end customer in the process of creation, designing a set of basic feature and then giving the client the possibility to design a personal custom object through an online software, or by fighting with a punchbag. A interesting and playful mix of design, technology and marketing.

Project: Isopt

Isopt is the first porcelain that integrates the user into the design process. Through an interface the user can manipulate the outer shape of the vessels to his own satisfaction and create families with the constraints of the primarily chosen shapes.
