As part of NYCxDESIGN and coinciding with ICFF, 3D-printed works by Dutch designer Dirk Vander Kooij will be presented at CITE showroom in SoHo.
Dirk Vander Kooij has bridged the gap between mass production and 3D printing. Using a repurposed robot from the 1970s, he melts recycled refrigerator parts and adds dye. Then the melted plastic comes out like icing on a cake, one layer after another, until it precisely forms a three-dimensional object. In less than four hours, the robot creates beautiful chairs. Vander Kooij’s work has been featured by MoMA and was awarded the ‘ICFF Design Award’ last year.
