TURN 15 KG OF WORTHLESS WASTE INTO A VALUABLE 3D PRINTED TULIP
The inspiration for the design of these controversial circular plant pots made from waste comes from one of our national symbols, the tulip. The tulips are 3D printed with a robot in three shapes from closed to open. The pots are 3D printed with reusable raw materials including recycled thermoplastics. A thermoplastic is a plastic material that becomes soft when heated. An advantage of thermoplastic material is the possibility of reuse in different applications. By re-shredding and reheating the material, it can be brought into other desired forms. By placing these circular products made from waste in the interior, you also reduce the CO2 footprint of your business operations.

Robotic 3D printing is a technique used in the production of circular design furniture. Layer by layer, parametric models are transformed into high-profile furniture pieces. Because the robot arm can print from practically any angle, extremely complex curved geometries are possible. Biophilic design and complex mathematical shapes and algorithms can now be easily translated into Dutch Design furniture. Reusable raw materials and recyclate from waste streams are the ingredients for the bases of tables, lamps and planters. It creates a new world of design freedom and paves the way for waste-free production. Furniture is digitally transported to its destination and produced locally with a minimal CO2 footprint.
With healthy and circular furniture. Less material, less CO2 and less waste!
