What’s the story behind your designs? What inspires you?<\/em>
\nWe like to use tools in a different way of its main purpose and create original shapes that cannot be done with other types of manufacturing, getting inspiration from mathematics and nature. We know each other from a long time ago, and have always worked together in our projects. So we started to get involved in 3D printing and we got fascinated by the idea of making our designs real, something that couldn’t be possible to us without 3D printing.<\/p>\n
