In5 presents 3D-printed office by Nyxo at Dubai Design Week

Spanning over 1,000 sq.ft., The North Star has been 3D printed by NYXO Visionary Design

In5, part of TECOM Group PJSC, presents the region’s largest 3D printed exhibition stand, The North Star, at Dubai Design Week, which opened doors at Dubai Design District (d3) on 7 November and which closed on Nov 12.

NYXO Visionary Design, among the most creative start-ups within in5, has designed and built The North Star from recycled polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) material to showcase how recycling can be incorporated into real-world architecture and promote sustainable design that is globally relevant and adaptable.

We wrote about 3D printed villas in Dubai in 2018 and the trend is still catching interest of designers.

Spanning over 1,000 sq.ft., The North Star represents pressing environmental challenges say its designers. An infinite loop generating four spaces and organising surfaces make up the pavilion, with the surfaces joining and folding together to create pockets that are continuously connected to signify in5’s legacy as start-up incubator.

The Tecom portfolio consists of 10 business districts catering to six vital knowledge-based economic sectors, including design, education, manufacturing, media, science, and technology.

It provides a varied and tailor-made leasing portfolio – which includes offices, co-working spaces, warehouses, and land – to over 10,800 customers and more than 105,000 professionals.

The design fir Nyxo has some other enchanting products, like Desert, a table 3D printed to resemble the Emirati desert: “Desert is a table whose design is inspired by the fossil dunes of the Emirati desert. Printed with Foaming PLA, a lightweight, low-density material Desert is a sculptural coffee table whose organic curves are inspired by nature, in particular by the spontaneous fossil formations. Just as the layering of the sand over time created the fossils, so the layering of the 3d printing creates this table.

“The material has a porosity that graciously simulates the roughness of desert sand,” say designers at Nyxo, based in Dubai.

We also love Thigmo, a 3D designed mold made into a porcelain cup set, “characterized by a relief surface that is inspired by the generative processes that we find in nature.

“The intricate veining surface is the result of a digital simulation of the behavior of growth of mycelium, the interweaving of filaments which constitutes the vegetative apparatus of fungi. The survey has a unique appearance and offers a tactile experience very stimulating, as well as allowing you to manipulate the cup in serenity even in the presence of a good hot coffee.”
