Tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? Where are you located?<\/em>
\nI was from China and I graduated from building science program in USC. I was a lighting designer last year but now I am an amateur programmer and the founder of Alminty3D<\/a> Studio. Our home studio is based in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

What’s the story behind your designs? What inspires you?<\/em>
\nI was always a big fan of geometry and mathematics in school. Whenever I looked at an object I like to simplify the shape and form to a “geometric abstraction” in my head. The current design starts with basic polyhedrons, and more parametric designs are coming soon. As a mid-century design lover, I 3D printed these miniature designer chairs as my wedding favor for our guests. And now they are optimized for 3D printing and available in different colors.<\/p>\n
