FOC collaborates with Ted Noten & Laikingland

    FOC FOR 5Jul2011

    Freedom Of Creation collaborates with Atelier Ted Noten on ‘Lady Killer Vol1′ an unconventional jewelry box for Laikingland. The mechanically complex object is inspired by ATN’s 2004 exhibition ‘unstaged‘ where a set of full sized industrial robots guarded a safe, which possessed a single precious ring.

    Continuing further on this concept ATN came up with the so called ‘lady killer vol.1′, a robot manufactured with state of the art 3D printing technologies.

    Contained within a transparent case, the miniature robot is activated by the push of a button, its single prosthetic rising and rotating to graciously offer a golden gun-shaped ring. (more…)

    FOC Collection, Not just stunning beauties…

    FOC Collection 16Jun2010

    The FOC Collection consists of 25 light designs of which most visual attention is drawn to the stunning beauty of the 3D printed shades. However our lights are also made up of many other 3D printed parts. None of these parts are the same and all are specifically designed for that particular lights. FOC’s reluctance to use ‘off- the-shelve’ parts gives each light their unique character and shows our commitment to detail.

    Although FOC Collection lights display a very high quality standard, they can never be flawless. In order to come close, FOC has collected year-long customer feedback and redesigned every 3D printed detail. It has resulted into a visual change that is minimal, but quality that is even better than it was. Although seemingly a paradox, our products should be delicate in their design and at the same time be of unbeatable quality.

    3D printed structure for Next Architects

    FOC FOR 3May2010

    Freedom Of Creation was approached by NEXT architects to create an exact replica of an existing roof structure for a scale model. NEXT Architects needed to include the existing building structure in their model. But how to create such a complex structure quickly and precisely?


    3D printing was the answer, the parts were drawn by NEXT architects and produced in one of our Laser Sintering systems. Each of the beam sections is only 1mm in thickness. Combining the 3D printed parts with the traditional maquette built by Made by mistake, NEXT Architects created a fabulous model.

    Tjep: Oogst 1 Solo – 3D printed scale model design

    FOC FOR 2Jan2010

    Freedom Of Creation collaborated with Tjep to create a stunning scale model of the Tjep Oogst concept. Tjep is a design agency based in Amsterdam, in October 2008, Tjep. initiated an investigation into new developments in the agricultural sector. What they came across were radical ideas with regards to self-sufficiency, capable of getting us quite a bit closer to the concept of a sustainable society.

    They approached Freedom Of Creation to create the scale model of the Oogst 01 concept explaining and visualizing the ideas in great detail.

    About Oogst:

    As a creative agency focusing on 3D design and visual communication, their approach was not technically oriented, but rather they chose to put the accent on cultural aspects and social implications through design. The central question that Tjep set themselves is: how can we, as designers, contribute to the fundamental developments that are taking place in Dutch agricultural research? Is self-sufficiency the path towards a more ecological sustainable society? And if so, on what scale is it workable? Can we combine the advantages of a globalized world with aspirations towards physical independence? These are some of the questions Oogst is trying contextualize. (more…)
