This collaboration resulted in a groundbreaking collection, Solid. Up until that moment, these manufacturing techniques, then referred to as Rapid Prototyping, had only been used for small-scale models. The processes were used primarily to create prototypes of objects to be eventually manufactured in other materials. This seminal collection emphasized the endless possibilities and great potential these remarkable manufacturing techniques could add to the repertoire of design. produced in a limited edition of 30 pieces dimensions: Ø 26" height 29" Ø table top 60" price: $38,000.00
