Pechakucha night with Janne Kyttanen

FOC general  8.Apr.2010

As part of the first edition of Amersfoort Marketing and Design Congres 2010, Janne Kyttanen was invited to give a Pecha Kucha presentation about Freedom Of Creation. Pecha Kucha is a Japanese initiate of doing an elevator pitch in the most efficient manner. With Pecha Kucha, you have to get your message across in 400 seconds (20 slides, 20 seconds per slide).

Janne decided to revamp the Pecha Kucha concept a bit and gave a modified presentation of 100 slides with an increasing tempo, so that he would only have 1 second per slide in the end. Good experiment to see whether he would totally lose the plot in the end. Sadly Microsoft powerpoint doesn’t support slide transitions below 1 second.

FOC general  29.Mar.2010

FOC is a groundbreaking and inspiring design label that is ahead of the pack with regards to 3D printing & design. We were happy to interview him to find out what Freedom of Creation is all about and how Janne views the future of design and 3D printing.

Shapeways: What is Freedom of Creation?
Janne Kyttanen: A pioneering design company busy with a new industrial revolution

Shapeways: How did you get into 3D printing?
Janne Kyttanen:I saw it on some fair in the mid 90’s. I had my first computer when I was 8 years old and have been pretty much counting polygons ever since. When I saw the first 3D printer, I immediately saw every object around me in wireframe and realized where this whole thing was going to go. I got quite obsessed with it quite early on and skipped making products by other means. For me it was so clear, that I didn’t see any point making anything by hand anymore.

Shapeways: What kind of products do you make?
Janne Kyttanen: Everyday something new and the list is very long. It can range from exclusive furniture to surgical guides to Iphone covers to buttons to whatnot.
