enLighten

enLighten is an hourglass-shaped bedside lamp that tracks your phone use in bed and correspondingly transitions its light color from a pleasant mint green to a throbbing red to make you aware of prolonged phone interaction. The lamp rewards good behavior by transitioning the light in reverse when the screen is turned off for a few minutes. It lets you determine and set goals of time and the apps to track. Through these functions enLighten nudges you to break away from your phone, avoid being over-loaded with online content, be mindful of the passage of time, and prepare you to fall asleep.

Voxel

Voxel is a 3D printed decorative accessory with minimalist appearance that captures the timeless quality of American muscle car 1970 Charger from film Fast&Furious. Materials are available in resin, brass, silver and other metals. The car’s volume was parametrically generated into voxel grids and interconnected lattice structure, which is not possible to produce without 3D printing. The digital modeling process involves constant awareness of 3D Printing parameters and constrains, which bring design and manufacture an integrated process.

Structuretonics

Automation and robots will revolutionise the architecture and construction industries. The work is an investigation into surface geometries and new possibilities to print the building facade using additive manufacturing, carbon reinforced concrete or recyclable 3D printed moulds. The Research Team designed more than hundred facade typologies, forms and structures for the building facade based on simulated environmental performance. The results are layers of unseen form, complex structures and modular prototypes of modular elements that allow a faster production and construction process.

Flower Shaper

These serie of vases is the result of experimenting with the capabilities and limitations of clay and a self-built 3D clay-printer. Clay is soft and pliable when wet, but becomes hard and brittle when dry. After heating in a kiln, clay transforms into a durable, waterproof material. The focus is on creating interesting shapes and textures that are either difficult and time consuming to make or even not doable using traditional methods. The material and the method defined the structure, the texture and the form. All working together to help shape the flowers. No other materials were added.

Decaffeinator

Decaffeinator is a simple solution to problem of household urban waste, by storing coffee waste and reusing it to sustain the growth of a new plant. Three specifically designed layers serve unique purposes. One layer holds water, the second holds coffee grounds, and a third, perforated layer, holds the plant. Decaffeinator is made of Coffee Based 3D printing filament, further recycling coffee waste. Decaffeinator is a cradle-to-cradle solution to reduce environmental impact and support plant growth, in a way from which everyone can reduce their negative environmental impact.
