    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…)

    Ted Noten designs for Mint Museum

    FOC FOR 20Jan2011

    Freedom Of Creation and Ted Noten come together again. Ted designs Eleven Women and 400 Daisies for the Mint Museum in Charlotte, USA.


    Ted comments: “The ideas behind this piece came about during the meetings I had with the Auxiliary women in Charlotte during my stay there in the early spring 2010. I was very impressed with the professionalism, the seriousness and passion with which the Auxiliary and their board members concern themselves regarding / facing the world. Strong women who take their responsibility, very self-aware and intelligent but at the same time sensitive and a little teasing! Together with written above, it struck me the way they invest and passionately put their effords in improving the status and financial position of the Mint Museum in Charlotte. So to say, the Auxillery women inspired me to design this object.” (more…)

    Ted Noten designs graduation trophy for Design Academy

    FOC FOR 13Oct2010

    Dutch designer Ted Noten worked together with Freedom Of Creation to create the latest Design Academy Trophy. Each year an artist is commissioned by the Design Academy to design a trophy for the newly graduated students.

    For the 2010 edition Ted came to FOC to create the Pig Head Trophy. By design, each slice of the pig head represented one graduate, not only was each and every slice different, they were also customized to show which course the student took.

    Ted’s design work is internationally recognized for its ingenuity, which requires a certain flexibility and craftsmanship from the people he works with. It’s for this reason that Ted chooses to work with Freedom Of Creation, and thus with 3D printing technologies.

    In a way the tools on the computer are becoming the new tools Ted works with. In the past artists worked with sculptors and goldsmiths, now all these crafts are coming together on the computer.
