There is some very interesting work coming out of Anthony Caradonna’s studio, in particular, the lighting prototypes that he is developing. The prototypes he is designing produce some interesting ambient qualities via cuts, folds, and overlap-page of material. I can see an incredible opportunity in his work with the play of material finishes in metal. We have featured his Pratt DesignTex Studio in the past, we will look to feature his studio research again in the near future. enjoy>

Microfactory is a clever concept from DaeKyung Ahn for cutting flat stock material (plastic, cardboard, paper, etc) with what seems to be a spindle, 4 servos, string and some type of controll device. It is really exciting to see a growing trend of products that bring manufacturing techineques to the home user. We hope it makes it to a comercial audience but until then take a look at the process info from the designer. via core77
