Printed Nature

Printed Nature is a symbiosis between technology and the natural environment, where the physical form is characterized by its creation process. With the use of 3D printed wood, this exhibition seeks to challenge and expand the boundaries of traditional architecture and design, catering to our innate desires for innovation, aesthetic appeal, and sustainable living.
Visually, furnishing elements are greeted by a scenery composed of wood dust, reminiscent of desert dunes and recalling the process of their creation. A scenario that presents itself not only as a natural and futuristic landscape but also as a field of possibilities.
Harry Thaler shows a playful attitude, designing warm and organic shapes, daring with sometimes unexpected and unimaginable proportions, according to a precise approach.
Each piece reflects artistic and environmental convergence, uplifting and inspiring through its resilience, beauty, and intent. As an act of responsibility, it transcends mere aesthetic exploration to become a playful yet serious prototype for our future interaction with the environment. Printed Nature is an exhibition by Harry Thaler in collaboration with 3D materials brand econitWood™.

econitWood™, a novel 3d printing material, repurposes wood leftovers from industry for architectural and design application through 3d printing. This material system is used for the first time by distinguished Designer Harry Thaler.
In his work, Thaler reinterprets fundamental design typologies by combining high quality and traditional craftsmanship with innovative shapes and materials. Harry Thaler, a trained goldsmith, holds an MA in Design from the Royal College of Art in London, where he opened his own studio in 2010 and developed the successful Pressed Chair. Today Thaler lives and works in Merano (Italy), cooperating with international companies in the fields of design and architecture.
