# Woven 3D-Printed Benches Studio 7.5 and XstreeE Collaborate on a Line of Modern Concrete Benches By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-08-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-concrete-benches References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/08/27/3d-printing-woven-concrete-benches-xtreee-studio-75-design/) & [seven5make](https://www.seven5make.com/) These modern concrete benches by Berlin-based design firm [Studio 7.5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenir-bench) and Parisian 3D-printing gurus XstreeE is another example of the steadfast development of technology. The pieces were made with a six-axis 3D-printing robot that graced the project with impeccable precision. To reach an [intricate woven pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs), the machine was programmed to print in alternate layers, while "moving in a continuous oscillating wave." Simply titled 'Make,' the modern concrete benches come in three designs. The robotic component to the manufacturing process proved to be a cost-effective endeavor as it allowed Studio 7.5 to reach a final product with a pattern that would have been extremely difficult to create with a mold. In addition, thanks to the efficiency of the product, the modern concrete benches were created with no excessive use of materials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3d-printed Furniture:** The collaboration between Studio 7.5 and XstreeE demonstrates the trend of using 3D-printing technology to create unique and intricate furniture designs. - **Robotic Manufacturing:** The use of a six-axis 3D-printing robot in the production process showcases the trend of integrating robotics into traditional manufacturing methods. - **Sustainable Design:** The efficient use of materials in the creation of the modern concrete benches highlights the trend of incorporating sustainability into furniture design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The application of 3D-printing technology in creating modern concrete benches presents opportunities for furniture manufacturers to explore new design possibilities. - **Robotics Industry:** The use of a six-axis 3D-printing robot in the manufacturing process opens up avenues for innovation and advancement in the robotics industry. - **Sustainable Architecture:** The use of sustainable materials and efficient production methods in creating modern concrete benches aligns with the growing demand for sustainable architecture and design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Concrete Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-none.md) - [3D-Printed Wooden Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/econitwood.md) - [Comfy Printed Component Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-chair-design.md) - [3D-Printed Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-fire-pit.md) - [Craft-Inspired 3D-Printing Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digitally-woven.md) - [Tree-Intertwined Metal Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenir-bench.md) - [3D-Printed Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konvergence-chair.md) - [Dual Sculpture Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001.md) - [Curvaceous Sculptural Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strate-bench.md)
