The community
The community You can’t separate project EGG from the community. The idea arose in the end, just before the project went public. How nice it would be, and how well would it illustrate we enter a new era, if I asked everyone with a 3Dprinter to help me and join. I did not do it […]
The shape of the stone
The shape of the stone I wanted to design something that would emphasize all the good qualities of a 3D printer. It had to be 3Dprinted relatively fast, with, just like in nature, just enough material and still strong. And I wanted a design that did not need any support structure. A form of stone […]
The language of 3D printing
The language of 3D printing And what shape does belong to a 3Dprinter? That was an immediate challenge. What shape language was specific for this machine? In the year to come, I made several discoveries Specific for 3Dprinting is building the object in layers. The skin of 3Dprinted objects has a specific appearance. I woulnd’t […]
Computer as an instrument
Computer as an instrument Thanks to the 3D printer and the parametric design software Grashopper I was able to not only design things that were inspired by nature but also I was able to realize them Each morning I made new discoveries, working with Grasshopper, that I , by the way and with a lot […]
A bit more nature as inspiration
A bit more nature as inspiration Self-evident An explanation I still work with is that a shape is as it is because it gets the chance to be like that. Think of sunflower seeds in a sunflower. The pattern you see in a sunflower takes shape because each seed uses the space it gets in […]
Nature as inspiration
Nature as inspiration I started by surrounding myself at my desk with a large collection of objects and pictures I was fascinated by for what ever reason. Things I had been collecting, even way before I even considered being a designer. For me, most objects had a certain kind of beauty. Much was coming from […]
