3D Printed Models of Everyday Objects
by Hans Maier-Aichen
- Designer: Hans Maier-Aichen
3D printed models of everyday objects are translated into miniature sculptures of high recognizability.
Purely practical by design, these works reveal a new visual quality through transformation of scale, surface and color, hiding their utilitarian character and giving room to a more poetic reading.
The photographs from which the objects were modelled lack certain details and led to improvisations that resulted in a more subjective view. Blending formerly disparate objects into somewhat surreal collages upends the traditional purpose of these apparatuses even further by stripping them completely of their intended use.
