Sometimes updating one's home is a matter of getting creative instead of replacing items entirely; enter the 3-Pring Product series. It is a line of [3D printed modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco) that help remix existing ready-made objects such as clocks, chairs and containers into other practical creations.

For instance, a set of four chairs can be turned into a table with the addition of a cardboard surface and the use of four joints that secure the top (cardboard) to the base (chairs). The 3-Pring Product series is comprised of more specific designs such as a ring-like object that turns an [alarm clock to a wall-mounted device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-one-table-lamp).

The 3-Pring Product series was cleverly and creatively designed by Takt Project, a design studio based in Tokyo, Japan.
