Unfinished building finally ready after more than 200 years
When we found these pictures on our forum we couldn’t help but wonder: Where does this mysterious building come from?
The designer himself wants to stay anonymous, but we can call him Rob. “This is my first 3D printed project and I’m pretty proud of it, I must say.” It’s not his first design. For years he is a designing now, mostly in landscape design, software and architectural reconstruction.
“I heard about this building before and it caught my attention. I’ve been told that the big financier of the American Revolution, Robert Morris, wanted a grant city house.” In 1794 he hired Peter L’enfant, the designer of Washington DC, to draw up plans. This French born architect was often impatient with clients, including the US Government, his employer who dismissed him in 1792.
TALENT
Despite his great talent, L’Enfant never had a successful career. He was lucky to find Robert Morris as an employer, so he begun to build the town house in Philadelphia. Unfortunately L’Enfant his

Featured Friday- Showing your 3D printed designs
Another week had passed again and we’re happy to show you these new designs!
The first design we want to show you is a real masterpiece. The basic idea for the project of Serdal Bidav and Nilgün Kuscu was to create a floating concert hall for Istanbul. With this building the designer wants to reflect the diversity of the city by creating three different cityscapes.
Next design is a very cool Heavy Metal watch ‘Black Label Society’: the case, bezel and dial were 3D printed. The material used for the wristwatch is paintable resin which was covered with some metallic paint. It perfectly shows how you can use 3D printing in your everyday life.
Check out this train! This model is based on a version from 1924 made in prime gray by Guido Mandorf.
SCULPTURE
Last, but not least: a very nice looking sculpture for an art gallery. It’s the first sculpture ikatz made through 3D printing. It will be great to see it in full glory!
Looking forward to see more of your designs.

Wonderboy Guto Requena makes 3D printed chairs with the sounds of the city
“The digital culture changes our relationship with design and the way we build our cities,” Guto Requena said in Freundevonfreunden.com, an online interview magazine. When it comes to designing the Brazilian architect pushes the envelope. He recorded the typical citysounds of São Paulo and let it determinate the design.
As a little child Guto Requena always dreamed about architecture. Then finally, when he started studying architecture he became more and more interested in digitalism and technology. At this moment he is one of the most innovatist architects of Brazil and with his studio Estudio Guto Requena he tries to push the projects he really wants to do.
FUTURE
Requena believes the digital future can make people closer and he tries to experiment with all kinds of design. One of his latest collections is called Nóize, which is inspired by three iconic Brazilian chair designs: Oscar by Sergio Rodrigues, the São Paulo by Carlos Motta and the Giraffe by Lina Bo Bardi, Marc
Featured Friday- showing your 3D printed designs
Another week full of nice looking, inventive designs has passed. We selected some eyecatching 3D printed items that caught our attention. First of all, we want to show you this elegant ring Woman, made by Els Cuvelier, a designer from the Netherlands. Can you imagine this ring around your finger?
Another nice design is this gold plated brass pendant made by Dizingof. It’s called Klein Bottle and it’s a mathematics shape. You can wear it on a necklace or just put it on your desk as an eyecatcher.
It’s always fun to be surprised by a design, such as this one, made by Carlos Gomez, in white polyamide. This shopping bag helper makes your shopping a little easier (and less painful) especially when you’re walking around with too many plastic bags in one hand! By its finger friendly grip it gives you just the support you need, instead of having paintful fingers. Who knows we’re all walking around with this in a couple of months.
Hope to see more nice designs in the future. Have a n
Iris Van Herpen: taking her dresses a level higher
‘Could a dress create the impression that it is moving by itself or make the viewer believe that it is making the wearer compelling to walk’, is in short a description used by fashion journalist Jean Paul Cauvin about Van Herpen her dresses. It illustrates perfectly her groundbreaking innovations and experimental designs. As she says herself ‘couture represents the future of fashion’, her collections are living it to the fullest.
Iris Van Herpen, not just another 27-year young Dutch woman, is putting the fashion industry upside down with her designs. She is not a promising talent. She is a talent. We’ve blogged about her before but she keeps amazing us every day. Her dresses from her latest collection Hybrid Holism are one by one true pieces of art and clever design.
DREAMS
In 2008 she started off with her collections Chemical Crows for which she used children’s umbrella’s, industrial boat yarns, leather, metal chaines and so on. A few collections later she discovered 3D prin
Featured Friday- Showing your 3D printed designs
A new week has passed. We welcomed new designers into our house and to kick off the weekend we present you our favorite designs!
Our first pick off the week is the AERO Chair, designed by Jean-François Roulon is made in white Polyamide. The picture you see below is a scaled model. It consists of two peaces which can be be assembled by sliding the back-leg component into the slit of the seat-back leg.
The second design seems a little bit odd, but it’s a custom gnome figurine. It looks like a shrinked human being with the clothes, pose and park bench. The designer, Josh Azevedo, used multicolor composite for this design.
Last, but not least, we picked out Semeaureo, a lovely pendant, made by Marco Ferrarin. For this piece of jewelry he used gold plated brass.
Now, enjoy your weekend everyone. Can’t wait to to see more of your designs!
