Best known for his groundbreaking 3D printed art, Janne Kyttanen which has been acquired since 1999 by the world’s leading museums and galleries. This finnish genius in this year are created a huge multi functional sofa made of copper and chrome by 3D printing it called Sofa So Good.
Until now, this sofa is the largest, most complex product to be made in a single build using a 3D Systems ProX 950 super wide 3D printing system, which 3D printed 6,000 layers that are only 0.0099 centimeters thick.
“There’s a whole range of benefits we can’t even fathom today… With 3D technology, we can express forms only found in nature,” says Janne.
Measuring 150 x 75 x 55 centimeters, the lightweight sofa weighs just 2.5 kilos (approx. 5.5 pounds) and was made using just 2.5 liters of material.
Despite its lightness, the sofa’s diamond geometry makes for a strong structure that can actually support a person up to 100 kilos (220 pounds).
