out of thin air – sketch furniture by front


Is it possible to let the first sketch become the object, to design directly in space?

Watch some of the fabulous members of Front make this series of sketch furniture by combining two highly developed techniques. Invisible pen strokes in the air recorded with motion capture become digital 3D-files that are then materialised into real pieces of furniture through rapid prototyping.

Love also their 3-D flower wallpaper; the rat wallpaper, not so much.
(Thanks Very Short List!)
