As seen and heard around the world, the 2016 Rio Olympics are in full swing. While most of us are not lucky enough to attend the live events, Shapeways has the goods you need to celebrate your favorite sports from the Summer Olympics anywhere. Bring on the Badminton, Basketball, Table Tennis, Fencing, and Golf! Which sport do you enjoy the most? Whether your passion comes from being a player or a spectator, our designers have got you covered.
Get in the spirit of slam dunking with this iPhone6 from lumlumpum.
This Ping ball from Shapeways designer holybowly calls for double duty as the product was designed for bounce and flexibility. Throw it in your pocket and grab a few friends to get a match started in your location of choice.
If a golf course sounds like your terrain, here are a few product ideas to keep your game up to par. We know that golf isn’t exactly a lightweight sport when it comes to equipment so free up some bag room with the Belt Plastic Golf Tee Holder from jlnuttle10. Attaching the holder to your belt is as easy as one-two-tee!
Keep your razor sharp focus on the course and have some fun off the course with Desk Golf from UrbanoRodriguez.
It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s the Badminton Pendant Pendant from frankxie.
Marie, the designer behind this Fencing Mask Pendant, was inspired by different meanings she found within what the sport stands for: power and strength to face the fight and elegance. Her pendant was designed to symbolize these facets.
See more designs from Marie’s shop, scientist2010 and check out other inspired pendants in last week’s blog post, Symbols + Science= Jewelry Styles for All.
We hope you enjoy the 2016 Olympic Games this month as we continue to spotlight designers and their creations around the world. You can catch more on the Olympics and Shapeways next week as we will be sharing a very unique story straight from Rio.
