Daniel Widrig Fuses 3D Printing and Robotics Into Forms That Resemble Living Organisms

Daniel Widrig, an artist, architect, and designer based in London, specializes in converting digital designs into tangible creations that seem to have been grown, eroded, stretched, or caught in a moment of change. His work spans various fields, including sculpture, furniture, fashion, architecture, glass, and public art, utilizing techniques such as 3D printing, robotic fabrication, CNC milling, and innovative materials to bridge the divide between computational design and handcrafted aesthetics. Instead of using technology to produce cold, perfect objects, Widrig embraces digital processes to evoke surprise. His pieces, such as a seemingly soft chair or a glass form that showcases gravity and heat, resemble living entities rather than mere machine-made items.
