• German Studio Boldobjects Debuts 3D-Printed Rocking Stool April 21
Additional Context
German design studio Boldobjects has released the Flow Chair, a 3D-printed rocking chair built from a single continuous form with no joints, screws, padding, or traditional legs. Designed by Daniel Streilein and Henry Boy, the piece uses its geometry alone to respond to a sitter’s movements, shifting as the user leans forward or settles back without any mechanical components.
The chair is produced using large-scale pellet 3D printing, an industrial process that makes it possible to produce the fluid, organic curves that would be cost-prohibitive through conventional molding or casting. The visible layer lines left by the print head are treated by the designers as a deliberate surface texture rather than a flaw, functioning as a visible record of the object’s construction.
