Applications
Furniture and Exhibition - Seat elements and exhibition with optimized paths
Customizable seat and exhibition elements for personalizable reusable setups enabled by different assembly configurations or spatial orientations.
This 3D model is a cut-off (joint detail) of RePLAy, a set of reusable furniture and stands elements for exhibitions, fairs, and temporary stores. The original concept has been developed during the Master Thesis in Design & Engineering of Juan Sebastian Barrera Cely (Politecnico di Milano).
