MIT's Self-Assembly Lab and Christophe Guberan Created Pneumatic Objects
While there are some printed decor products for the home that are available to consumers—especially ones that offer customizable features—these objects can consume a lot of time, resources and money when it comes to making them.
MIT's Self-Assembly Lab collaborated with Swiss designer Christoph Guberan on an exhibition called 'Liquid to Air: Pneumatic Objects' that's on display at the Patrick Parrish Gallery in New York. This collection of design objects offers a look at pieces that are printed from a silicone material that can be inflated. The designs such as rubber wall lamps and rubber vessels were created with Rapid Liquid Printing (RLP), which adds a fourth dimension to the printing process.
Beyond printed decor, the Self-Assembly Lab also sees the potential for everything from airbags to emergency shelters to be created.
