ITEN

Studio

colla designs interiors and products for indoors and outdoors, 3D printed in ceramic and polymer. We bring materials, techniques and people together.

We work with robots and 3D printers, but every piece goes through someone's hands before leaving the workshop. Computational design lets us make one-offs at the cost of a series; craft knowledge makes them good to touch.

Process

  1. 1

    Computational design

    We design with algorithms. Form comes from parameters such as light, use and structure, and every piece can be different.

  2. 2

    Robotic printing

    Robotic arms and 3D printers lay down ceramic or polymer layer by layer, without moulds.

  3. 3

    Finished by hand

    Firing, glazing, finishing and assembly happen in our workshop, by hand.

Ceramic

Printed clays and stoneware, kiln fired. For cladding, vases, lamps and outdoor pieces.

Polymer

Polymers, recycled too, printed in large format. For furniture, panels and light objects.
