Vormgevers РStefan Sch̦ning

Belgian designer Stefan Schöning is probably best known for his redisgn of the corporate identity for the Belgian Railways and the resulting iF product design award & the red dot product design award. He also does a lot of product design for his Stefan Schöning Studio & design label polyline. Recently Stefan was featured on the Belgian TV show Vormgevers. The Belgian channel Canvas let us put the resulting clip on YouTube. The TV show is in Dutch and has no sub titles. But, if you do happen to speak Dutch the segment shows you how Stefan uses 3D printing to make prototypes for his cutlery collection. You can see him interact with his client and it is a great look inside the entire process from start to finish. It is also a good detailed example of how designers use 3D printing in their design process to itterate and communicate with clients. They discuss the forms, the design and lots of disparate elements of the process.  If you don”t speak Dutch at 4.14 there is some nice footage of the cutlery prototypes being produced here at Materialise.
