For Milan Design Week 2018, Philipp Aduatz and incremental3d decided to team up for a group exhibition. The basic concept of the exhibition is to show innovative and experimental applications of construction materials in product design. There will be new experimental unique pieces like the "Gradient Tiles Chair" or the "Cloud Chair" by Philipp Aduatz on display as well as realized other projects designed and produced by incremental3d. The main project of the exhibition will be a 3D printed concrete chaise designed by Philipp Aduatz, developed in collaboration with incremental3d.

Digital Chaiselongue, 2018

Concrete 3D printed, carbon fibre reinforced, polyurethane coating

The Digital Chaiselongue emerged from a collaboration of Viennese product designer Philipp Aduatz with Austrian start-up company incremental3d from Innsbruck.The sculptural design language is realized by the use of an innovative digital fabrication technology that allows to 3D print very detailed concrete geometries in a very fast time.

For the Digital Chaiselongue a negative mold was first 3D printed from concrete. Afterwards, the complete geometry was printed in less than one hour onto the mold. To provide sufficient tensile strength, carbon fibre was inserted in sensitive areas. The seating area was finished using a UV-resistant polyurethane coating in delicate handcraft, this should demonstrate that craft and digital technologies can coexist for the purpose of innovation in the 21st century in harmony.

Gradient Tiles Chair, 2018

wood, plastering, metal, brick, 10.000 stoneware tiles glazed

The Gradient Tiles Chair is an experimental chair designed and produced by Philipp Aduatz by using solely construction materials. The idea started when Aduatz had numerous building materials left which after completing the refurbishment of his studio. He did not want to discard them, so he decided to create an experimental chair.

The base frame is made from wood which was covered with a brick fabric and afterwards completely covered by plaster. Because the surface still had a tendency to crack, it was reinforced with a glass fibre fabric. The finish is made by the application of 10,000 tiles, each placed by hand in a gradient pattern.

Cloud Chair, 2018

wood, wire, polyurethane foam, epoxy and polyurethane resin, glass fibres, lacquer

The idea of the Cloud Chair is to use the natural expansion of a polyurethane foam used in construction for insulation. The concept is to create a cloud or steam like geometry by the foam process directly applied out of the can.Therefore, the chair has no inner support structure to allow the foam process the maximum freedom of natural arrangement.

To make the chair usable and to provide a carrying construction, Aduatz experimented with different resins and fillers. Finally, adding glass fibres made the hull structure of the chair sustainable for load carrying without giving up the natural shape of the foam.The chair was finished with lacquer in a gradient brightness.
