We talked about San Fratello + Rael, architects who used 3D printing to make wonderful and creative things, the designers of the burrito wall and Bay Bridge Product. The above object is also one of their creation. The above picture is called Haeckel Bowl. The shape and pattern based on the 19th century biologist Ernst Haeckel's illustrations of art forms in nature. The bowl is made of pecan wood and has soft translucent fibers embedded in the mix that enhance the texture.

This is the Rapid Type Coffee Pod.
It is a design/build studio at the California College of the Arts(CCA) initiated as a result of ALPOLIC's continued interest in engaging young architects in the use of aluminum composite materials (ACM).
The program allowed 15 students, led by OTA+'s Kory Bieg, and Studio Under Manufacture's Andre Caradec, to push the boundaries of ALPOLIC aluminum composite materials.
