We’re always excited to enable creativity, no matter how big or small the creators might be. That’s why, every year, we sponsor the CHIL-DISH Project<\/a>, a chance for kids to see their 2D drawings rendered in 3D by designers, then printed by Shapeways.<\/p>\n

At last October’s Dutch Design Week, the 2016 CHIL-DISH project challenged children to draw the perfect tableware for their favorite food. Of the drawings submitted, a group of 10 were chosen to be designed and printed. Finally, last Saturday, we had the honor of revealing the completed 2016 CHIL-DISH Project collection. It may sound long overdue, but creating designs based on the kids’ drawings was quite a process. Over 300 children submitted their drawings, so just narrowing it down to 10 winners was quite a challenge. But now, after months of hard work, the results have finally been brought to life!<\/p>\n

Above are the winning drawings. CHIL-DISH Project initiators Kristos Mavrostomos and Anna van der Leij transformed them in 3D designs, and we 3D printed them in porcelain.<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking back at drawing day<\/h4>\n

In our exhibition space at YKSI Expo<\/a>, we gave CHIL-DISH Project founders Kristos Mavrostomos and Anna van der Leij a space where hundreds of children could draw their best ideas for tableware for their favorite foods. Below is our Facebook Live broadcast from that day in which I got to chat with Anna about the CHIL-DISH Project.<\/p>\n
