3 DCHAIR: a 3D-printed chair prototype

The project

Archicercle produced this chair prototype using 3D printing, as part of an exploration of the technology’s possibilities in furniture design.

The form combines a curved backrest, a central opening and four slender legs. The outline of the backrest gives the piece its most distinctive feature, while the seat and supports complete a simple silhouette.

The studio’s documented contribution centres on producing the prototype through additive manufacturing. Its surface has a gold or ochre appearance, with visible ridges adding texture to the curves. The result is a physical piece presented as a prototype rather than a final production chair.
