Conequeror

Crafted with an approach to redefining primitive nature, the Conequeror Lamp draws inspiration from primitive life and the Mbaru Niang, one of Indonesian traditional house. This lamp undergoes a transformative process, merging traditions with 3D printing techniques to show the detail. Its minimalist 3D-printed resin design reflects three intricate patterns of primitive nature, combined with LED technology which offering a palette of 13 vibrant colors to cast the patterns onto surrounding surfaces.

Polyhedron

The Polyhedron stool is a 3d printed stool that has an interaction of a closing flower. Except for one CNC processed metal component, every part is made through the 3d printer, allowing individuals to produce and reproduce themselves within small amounts (leading to numerous variations). When a flower sets, its petals gather (twirling inside). The ends go up, and the height gets changed. As grabbing its head, rotating the upper part makes pillars move and escalates the stool. The four gears inside convert circular move vertically, making the pillar's end rise.

Georgia

Georgia is a high heel shoe made with 3D printing. The platform combines the insole, midsole, outsole and shank of a conventional heel into a single 3D printed part. A digital mesh cushion is built into the platform to give springy support, and internal mechanisms allow the whole shoe to act as a spring, which reduces wear over time. A window on the underside allows the upper to be separated from the platform, so all parts can be recycled. On-demand printing allows a wide size range, from size 4 narrow to size 14 wide.

Last Stand

Last Stand is a pencil extender designed to keep short pencils in use. The body is 3D printed in resin and measures 15 millimetres in diameter and 150 millimetres in height. A moving centre piece, machined from aluminium alloy on a five axis machine, allows the pencil to be repositioned after each sharpening. A cap holds the pencil in place, and the back point can be used for craft work. The body is printed in two parts, the metal piece is inserted, and both parts are joined with the same resin. The aim is to reduce pencil waste.

The Flett

The Flett is a roof flashing designed for standing seam architectural cladding. The flashing is produced by 3D printing in ASA plastic, measures 265 by 50 by 100 millimetres and is 2 millimetres thick. The form under-laps one cladding sheet, allows a change in direction, then overlaps the next sheet. The part is matched to the profile and colour of the roofing sheet, and the material is thermally stable, UV stable and nontoxic. The flashing can be installed in sequence by general trades, and aims to reduce leaks at difficult roof junctions.
