The Lina Chair is a solid and stackable chair for different environments. Its' shape and construction is adapted to a product family.
The chair is built from local wood and metal pipes with a colour painted finish. The product family is produced by craftsmen in Medellín.
Main Challenges: Stackability, Cost efficient production, Weight
LINA | Product Family by Tu Taller Design. Ongoing project.

PROCESS - FUTURECRAFT;
From traditional to contemporary - how to transform craftsmanship?
We harmoniously connect the art of craftsmanship and digital manufacturing processes. The combination allows for previously unknown forms and functions to emerge. Digital manufacturing techniques support the design process, make it more flexible and efficient.
Such an application resulted in three products: a nutcracker cast in aluminium, using a 3D-printed master mould for making the form; a wicker hanging lamp with a laser-cut framework and laser-sintered clamping mechanism that can be adjusted in height; and, a 3D printed double-wall insulated porcelain carafe.

NUTCRACKER;
manufactured in lost-form aluminium casting.
The traditional metal casting technology combined with CAD modelling and FDM 3D printing processes allows the efficient development and production of prototypes and small series. The nutcracker combines form and function possibilities in a harmonious way.
