Applications
Furniture and exhibition - Seat elements and exhibition with customized paths
Customizable seat and exhibition elements for personalizable reusable setups enabled by different assembly configurations or spatial orientations.
This 3D model is a scaled version of XYZ, a customizable and reconfigurable stool and rack. The original concept has been developed during the Ph.D. research period abroad of Alessia Romani at FAST Lab (Western University) and the work at +LAB (Politecnico di Milano). It is currently under development.
