14 DAY TRIAL // As far as 3D printing goes, the idea has come quite far already, and we're already seeing more than just little things being made in this way.
And I'm not talking about that 3D printed rifle this time. No, what I have in my scope is the first 3D printed chair ever.
It's an ugly piece of work really. At least I think so. Still, it is, presumably, comfortable enough and will do fine as an exhibition piece at The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
French designer Patrick Jouin is the one that made the Solid C2 Chair, as the weird contraption is called.
The museum also has Jouin's 3D-printed One_Shot.MGX stools, so a chair was the next logical step for the man.
The Solid C2 Chair was made using a special SLS (selective laser sintering) technique that makes it look like it's constructed out of a single “sheet,” for lack of a better term, of plastic, bent and wrapped around as much as needed to produce the necessary shape.
