The chanel mobile artpavilion was developed as a temporary exhibition space made of continuous arch shaped elements of fibre reinforced plastic and a membrane roof combined with a steel and aluminum structure. The spacial rhythm of the seams and segments of the arched building which are clearly visible also from the outside emphasized by additional lighting features creates strong perspective views throughout the building interior. On the inside the pavilion features a backlit translucent ceiling while the entrance area with its large roof light creates the transition from inside to outside space.

While the real building skin consists of several layers, its curved shape  and details could well be represented by a 3D print.

Asymptote designed Ivo _03, as wave shaped and unique table that features slumped glass suspended across a contiguous and abstracted surface of diamond-shaped facets for Meta, a new contemporary objects and furniture company created by Mallett Antiques. Ivo_03 has been exhibited in Milan, New York City, London and, most recently, at Design Miami from December 3 – 6, 2008.

The high degree of detail of facets within this hyperbolean structure could be ideally represented in a 3D print.
