Putting nature to work, Minimal surface porcelain research led by Lund University, Sweden

Inspiration from nature is one thing, putting nature to work yet another. Our research is concerned with methods to empower designers and consumers to discover and apply natural-mathematical morphologies - whilst taking real world functional or production constraints into account at the same time. A follow-up to our DMY 2010 and SFF 2011 exhibitions.

Putting nature to work: Digital form-finding for analogue production processes: experiments with minimal surfaces in slip-cast biscuit porcelain and performance LED lights - shown at the DMY 2010 in Berlin at Hangar 7 of the disused Tempelhof Airport.

Executed in Berlin and at Lund University School of Industrial Design by Andreas Hopf, Axel Nordin and Michal Piasecki, supported by Innovativ Kultur, Stockholm, Sweden.
