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.
