Postcard Laarman Pixel Chair

Joris Laarman Lab created the Maker Chair project under the assumption that one day every big city will have 3D-printing workshops where furniture and other items can be printed on demand. The cradles of industrial 3D-printers are usually limited in size, prompting Joris Laarman Lab to design a series of high-design chairs that are pieced together out of smaller 3D-printed elements, shown here in multiple patterns. This prototype for the project is made up of nearly 300 white, gray, and black resin squares (pixels), assembled like a three-dimensional puzzle. The chair was included in the Cooper Hewitt's 2017 exhibition, Joris Laarman Lab: Design in the Digital Age.
