I visited the Out of Hand exhibition at Museum of Art and Design for inspiration. It’s very interesting seeing each piece of art in the exhibition, every piece is very delicate and special.
In particular, I enjoy every creation of chair in the exhibition. Especially, the White Skin and Bone Chair, the delicacy of the lace exterior was beautiful and dreamy.
Overall, after visiting the museum, I think the furniture has become one of the main themes for 3D printing nowadays. The idea of recreating some ordinary piece into your own customized version is heating up in the industry.
The main conclusion I got from visiting the exhibition is the fact that every piece of furniture is very simple but yet with some complicated details. For example, colors are usually consistence and light, but it’s the stitches and details molding the entire piece together fascinated me.

In this Huffington Home post, the author described “Over the last few years, 3D printing, also called additive manufacturing, has become a viable construction method to make everything from jewelry, to toys to medical equipment, as the availability of three-dimensional printers has become more widespread….”
So called, additive manufacturing, I think this advance technique will continue and broaden within the next few years and create greater opportunities for the consumers.
