With rapid advancements in technology, it comes as no surprise that designers are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation. The Loom collection by German designer Peter Otto Vosding shares a similar perspective by employing 3D printing technology to create quaint furniture. Designed by Vosding, the 3D-printed Loom chair for German startup “recozy” is 3D printed using plastic and boasts a quirky shape.
The uncanny shape is made possible with a single-piece design that creates two oval openings for the backrest and seat, connected – without joints or bolts – in one fluidic motion. According to the designer, the basic sketch of the Loom chair is drawn with a single stroke comprising “two ellipses that are connected by a tangential arc. The sketch is a cross-section of the chair and results in a soft, cloud-like shape.”
When you look at the chair, it appears to be made out of a single sheet. Apparently, a 3D-printing robot squeezes plastic out of a tube layer by layer to build the chair up based on the fluidity of the sketch.

This small 3D-printed chair features a slim, curved back and seat to ensure comfort and flexibility. What makes the chair design special is the 3D printed manufacturing technique that provides a great design in less time and resources. The proof is found in the hollow space in the chair that requires minimal material and can be used to store books, blankets, etc.
The Loom furniture collection comprises a lounge chair and two differently-sized side tables also 3D-printed from plastic. The designer says its layered design makes the surface look like a carefully coiled yarn bobbin.
