about this project:
at alcova during milan design week 2024 we presented printed nature as a room-scale installation: a giant armchair with a tubular, float-like backrest and very tall lights, all printed in econitWood and staged in a dune of fine wood particles. the setup made the process tangible—the powder bed around the pieces, the sand-like feel of the surfaces—while the objects stayed calm and monumental. all parts were produced on our large-format system in two passes within sixteen hours, with hollow sections and approx. 15 mm wall thickness, then lightly sanded for installation at villa bagatti valsecchi.
additive tectonics develops the future of construction: architectural 3D printing. From vision to realisation, across art, architecture and design, our strength is to introduce creatives, architects and other builders to the vast technological and ecological possibilities of today.
Let’s create the built environment of tomorrow together.
