With marine curves - worthy of presenting Botticelli's Venus - the Rise chair was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA). The company Nagami, specialized in 3D printing, produced the piece using a biodegradable material.
Rise is the result of ongoing research that ZHA is conducting in the realms of 3D printing and material experimentation. The pattern and color gradient seek to redefine the traditional spatial relationship between furniture and its environment. “It’s all nature in many ways,” he says. ways, because you have these processes of variation in natural morphogenesis,” explains Patrik Schumacher, director of ZHA.
The printing uses raw plastic particles instead of a filament. The plastic chosen is PLA, a non-toxic and biodegradable material from renewable sources such as cornstarch, which guarantees lightness and stability. “3D printing will be increasingly one of the options available to you for anything you start getting involved with,” Schumacher continues.
