LUMO // AddWood
A sofa designed for cost-efficient 3D printing, stackable in production, makes the most of printer bed space. An innovative groove along the shell’s edge enables a removable fabric connection, creating a suspended comfortable seating experience. The upholstery is made of 100% wool fabric from Rohi Stoffe GmbH and filled with raw wool remnants, it enhances the natural composition of the furniture. All components can be disassembled for easy repair and extended durability. Completely free of plastics and synthetic binders, it is entirely biodegradable, presenting a sustainable yet modern alternative to traditional sofas.
Exhibition Prague
Wood has always been fundamental in
manufacturing. As we transition to regene-
rative practices, we have to reconsider how timber is sourced, processed, and utilized. Innovations in material recycling and digital technology are reshaping the wood industry. Add Wood explores new ways to apply these advancements in real-world contexts.
The exhibition‘s core is the pioneering bio-digital material system econitWood. By repurposing wood leftovers from sawmills and timber harvesting, the life cycle of the material is extended. Through 3D printing, it efficiently transforms every particle into intricate, on-demand designs. This is achieved while still fulfilling the required indoor standards for burning behaviour and acoustic properties.
