The "Digital Chaiselongue" is one of Philipp Aduatz latest experimental material technologies. He teamed up with the Austrian start-up incremental3d, who specialises in the field of 3D concrete printing and has developed a new technology to print very fine and detailed freeform geometries in a very short time. Aduatz’ aim is to show how an innovative product can be developed through the collaboration with engineers and the research in manufacturing technologies and why craft and digital implements can coexist for the purpose of novelty in the 21st century in harmony.
Vienna based Designer Philipp Aduatz creates limited edition functional objects that are highly sculptural in nature. Working with innovative materials and fabrication technologies, Aduatz is very much influenced by scientific matters such as chemistry, physics and material technologies. His process combines traditional craft concepts and techniques with cutting edge implements such as 3D printing, 3D laser scanning, CNC milling, and Rapid Prototyping. Greatly influenced by sculptors such as Constantin Brancusi and Tony Cragg, the designer aims to develop a new language of form in each of his pieces, encouraging a new discourse between the object and its user or viewer.
