Parametric Design furniture

Michaela Crie Stone lives and works in Rockport, Maine, where she creates pieces that push the parameters of function by blurring the lines between art, craft, and design.
Hot Pop Factory created a collection of pieces that imitate patterns and textures found in nature, using a Makerbot Replicator to print every piece. After each piece is printed, it is put together by hand, making every single piece totally unique. Peaque Necklace: Inspired by topography, this sort of honeycomb-like pendant involves two intersecting chains and took 62 minutes to print.
Platonix Type I Necklace: This sort looks like a bunch of triangles having a dance party. It reminds us of some of those doodles rendered during long afternoon meetings.
Platonix Bracelet: This hot little bracelet is made out of 3D printed nylon – so cool! It makes you wonder wonder just how stretchy it is.
Boreal Gold Necklace: That’s right – 3D printed woodgrain! These beautiful pieces are definitely what caught your eye when you come across Hot Pop.
Platonix Type II Necklace: How easy it is to draw a 3D cube? This is sort of like those drawings come to life.
Mesa Ring: You can see a stalagmite-like structure and texture on this Mesa ring.
Kilf Earrings: Last, a pair of earrings that almost look like they were made in a miniature waffle iron. So cute.
