‘Layer 8549’ fluctuates between handwork and digital work. Through complex organic geometry, Lasse Sylvest Lilleør refines the aesthetic expression of 3D printing. He hand-draws the chair in the 3D program Rhino, transforming a classic chair type by shifting and connecting ball-and-socket joints. Each component is printed and then hand-coated in resin. The coating highlights the layers on horizontal surfaces and camouflages them on vertical ones.
Finally, the parts are assembled with visible joints that expose the production method. The piece is created through a slow, sensuous process but produced using technology developed for mass production.
With this chair, Lilleør aims to demonstrate that 3D printing can be used to create refined objects – not just as a prototyping tool – and to acknowledge the digital technologies and tools he uses in his process.
