Digitally rendered graphic print. From left to right, a medium sized hexagon shaped pixeled shape going through changes, becoming more abstract, as the resolution improves. The color of the hexagons are a light gray color while there is a stud looking object in the center of eah shape. On the left of the pattern the hexagon appears to be realistic. The pattern gradually changes towards the center to a more abstract looking hexagon design. The right side of the pattern returns to a more realistic looking hexagon shape with the stud object in the center. Inbetween the pattern is a white negative space.

3D Gradient pattern, 2014

It was designed by Joris Laarman Lab. It is dated 2014. Its medium is digital print on vinyl.

Chaise made out of 3d-printed polyamide, copper, nickel, foam and textile. It is composed of hexagonal parts that morph in size depending on its position on the object.

This monochrome black chair is made of repeated, geometric cut outs and abstract 3-D shapes. The shapes are ovular with a curved star in the middle, with the star varying in thickness and gradation in the middle. The geometric shapes and material are tightly molded together in various overlapping sequences, making the repeated elements form one continuous chair shape. The chair sits on the floor as one unit without legs.

Here we have a monochrome rose gold metal chair made of intricate and repeating elements. It has four legs supporting the seat and back with numerous branch-like supports that resemble trees. The supports vary in thickness and number from each leg, resulting in supports being attached to various areas of the seat bottom. The seat and back are one long curved piece made of small, repeating ringlets.

Here we have a metal gray chair. In the frame and almost through the whole chair, it has intricately repeated geometric, diamond-shaped cut-outs through the back, seat, and the legs, making the chair open and nearly see-through. The cuts on the legs and the bottom of the chair back go from small to large, which makes these areas have more of a gradient effect Its four legs are attached by curved arches that create triangular openings between the legs. Its back is rectangular with curved corners and tapers inward toward the seat where the gradient is most prominent. Along the seat is a rounded metal edge.
