The media hype for 3D printing<\/strong> has been very high in the last few years. During the 2018 Milan Design Week, Locatelli and his team at CLS Architetti created a 3D printed house. The walls were meticulously printed in Milan just for the occasion.<\/p>\n

The building\u2019s core was assembled with only concrete and a 3D printer, the rest of the fine detail work was assembled by hand. The result is this elegant little flat with a garden on its roof.<\/p>\n

While 3D printing still produces only a small portion of all manufactured goods, the manufacturing sector is growing steadily as the technology constantly advances.<\/p>\n

When a piece of furniture is individually handcrafted that instantly adds a distinct and personal touch to it.\u00a0This year will show an increased interest in handmade products by independent designers over big-box offerings.\u00a0Handmade products require artistry and skills which, once combined, give life to pieces greatly enriched by the care and personal attention invested.<\/p>\n

BrHands Foundation<\/a> opened their doors and promoted an live workshop to see skilled labour on site. Anyone that joined had the experience of trying\u00a0the leaf gilding technique with the help of their skilled artisans and jewellers.<\/p>\n

It was an unique opportunity to discover the ancient techniques that make every piece unique and marvelous. All of their furniture products are handcrafted and each object is individually made so they will never be identical \u2014 the result is always unique.<\/p>\n

\"Trend<\/a>\"Trend<\/a><\/p>\n

It is not breaking news that the traditional department-store format is driving less traffic to storefronts, as consumers have moved retail activity online. With just a click of a button, any product from around the world can be yours as e-commerce and m-commerce have maximized choice, personalization, and suggestions.<\/p>\n

Big retail brands are taking notice of this shift and are testing ways to use emerging technologies and extraordinary experiences to engage with consumers.
\nPeople are seeking to participate in deep, immersive experiences<\/strong> that take them away from the reality of their daily lives and enrich their experience of the world around them. Experiences that deliver a sense of theatre and thrill that are truly worthy of sharing.<\/p>\n

MVRDV<\/a> collaborated with Bulgari<\/a> to create an installation based on three defining elements of design \u2013 materials, modularity and color. With all three combined an immersive space made up of uniquely crafted scales invited visitors into the craft of jewellery making during milan design week 2018.<\/p>\n

MVRDV\u2018s installation transforms bulgari\u2018s iconic serpenti bracelet into a spatial experience. The installation aims to introduce the visitor a world of precious and unconventional materials with each scale made from the italian jewellery brand\u2019s repertoire.<\/p>\n
