The Forum

The Forum is a pavilion designed as a venue for gatherings, public programming and the arts. The structure works as a stage, a screen and a backdrop, so the space can be adapted to different uses. Structure and facade are unified in one language of fluid surfaces made of aerospace grade aluminium. Sixty-six unique panels were shaped by digital sheet forming, without tooling or dies, in under twelve hours. The result is a large, lightweight and modular structure that is quick to produce and can be assembled with basic hand tools.

Serpentinata Benjamin

Serpentinata Benjamin is a ballpoint pen produced with 3D printing. All parts except the refill are 3D printed. The pen is transparent when new and gradually turns yellow with use, especially when exposed to sunlight. Yellowing of plastic under ultraviolet light is usually seen as a defect in industrial products, and Serpentinata Benjamin treats the change as a positive quality. Each pen develops its own color over time, in the way that musical instruments, leather goods and wooden furniture age with their owners. The pen measures 9.5 by 9.5 by 105 millimeters including the cap.

GT Experience

GT Experience brings the thrill and tension of circuit driving into sim racing through an immersive spatial enclosure. A modular pair of large scale 3D printed side panels shapes peripheral vision to deepen focus while staying open for home play and esports venues. Its sculptural form transforms visible layer lines into premium surface language, turning a manufacturing limitation into design identity. Lightweight elastomer modules improve safety, quick assembly, transportability, and compact storage.

DB Schenker Upcycling Hub

DB Schenker Upcycling Hub is a lunchroom interior of 400 square metres located in Singapore. The design turns discarded materials into functional features, including a chandelier made of tiles printed from a bespoke filament produced entirely from transparent PET bottles. More than 500 kilograms of single-use plastics were reused in the project. Polystyrene foam from packaging, cardboard from logistic boxes, discarded wooden pallets and recycled rubber flooring were also applied. The aim is to show the potential of upcycling and circular design.

Crystal

Crystal is a sculptural home decor object that interacts with light to create evolving visual experiences throughout the day. Engineered through precision folding and advanced glass molding techniques, its multifaceted form refracts and reflects ambient light, casting intricate patterns onto surrounding surfaces. The design invites a moment of stillness and introspection, offering users a calming sensory experience as the light shifts.

Unream

Unream is a lamp produced with multi-material voxel 3D printing. The surface is covered with lenticular lenses that are printed together with the color content. Unream shows different colors from different viewing angles, so the object appears to display a moving image when a person walks past. The lamp acts as an object in daylight and as a light source at night. The height is 220 mm and the width is 100 mm. A computational workflow assigns material properties to each voxel, which allows optical textures on free-form surfaces.
