Design Rumour

Unream

In the daytime, Unream is an artifact that reflects sunlight to display dynamically; at night, it uses artificial lights to create a fantasy-like atmosphere. With Unream, the designers hope to blur the line between the digital and physical world, bringing impossible materials to real-world product design. Unream is the first 3D printed object that displays dynamically by itself. With multi-material voxel printing, the designers expand binary material presence to dynamic material experience, reimagining the relationship between human, space, and objects.

Venous Materials

Venous Materials project envisions a new way to design dynamic tangible interactions using fluidic Interfaces. It is a new type of interactive material that is inspired by veins systems in nature and the human body. When the user applies pressure or motion to the material, it dynamically displays geometric patterns and colors. The different patterns are displays that function as tangible sensors, that can animate dynamic graphics, create responsive objects for learning activities, and visualize body movement and balance.

Kguard

Spiderweb

The main idea was to create something that brings all the attention to the product, using less elements as possible and creating some connection with the target public at the same time. The web element also refers to the grip of the shoe and his wild nature, bringing a personification to the product. The mood also transmits technology, present on the shoe essence and a pinch of a mystical language that comes with the spider web element that also represents the shoesole grip.

The Majestic Watch

The Majestic Watch is the greatest project design developed by Andre Caputo. This brings in itself the essence of his personal brand that gather magic, fantasy and wonderful feelings. It brings together elements such as vintage time, Christmas, fantasy, magic, candies, happiness, fun, entertainment, curiosity and passion. Each part of the watch was designed in such a way that it alluded to a certain element, past or feeling. We can even imagine that it only needs to snow inside the watch to make it magical and wonderful.

Polyhedron

The Polyhedron stool is a 3d printed stool that has an interaction of a closing flower. Except for one CNC processed metal component, every part is made through the 3d printer, allowing individuals to produce and reproduce themselves within small amounts (leading to numerous variations). When a flower sets, its petals gather (twirling inside). The ends go up, and the height gets changed. As grabbing its head, rotating the upper part makes pillars move and escalates the stool. The four gears inside convert circular move vertically, making the pillar's end rise.
