Interior & Exterior material optimisation, the Osteon chair 2004 to Femur stool 2013
two new movies on you tube. the Osteon chair was designed by Assa in 2004 and was the first chair to be fully designed and produced using polyamide SLS, today known as 3D printing. watch the movie for the compleet process illustration. the Osteon chair interior porosity was optimised using an Ai algorithm, the final objects was using only 1/3 amount of the anticipated material usage.
Project sponsored by EOS and Complex Matters
Exterior optimisation, the Femur stool was designed using a new algorithm that removes any redundant material according to stress zones on the object surface. Produced by laser sintering (3D printing), the object shape is driven from the mathematical intelligence of the human bone formation and is optimised to carry a load of 120 Kg. If you change the load conditions the object shape will change.

Coming Talks
Assa will partecipate at two very exciting events in London. On the 25th of March he will talk about the new opportunities within the user centred design and the notion of ‘objects as files’ and the foundations of the business around that:

On the 15th of April he will give a talk at Develop 3D Live:

We hope to see you there!
Assa will be talking at the 3D print show in New York
Assa will be talking at the 3D print show in New York on Thursday 13th of February. The main topic will be ‘User informed objects’ – a shift in the order of use, where Assa will talk about the importance of owning less but with more value and about the notion of ‘in touch’ and how we can stay ‘in touch’ with our user communities. Assa will also talk about the Digital Forming Technology and new collaborations. Digital Forming will exhibit at the stand A11 on the entrance floor.
Time of the talks: 5:30 pm Workshops & Seminars / 9:00 pm Create Arts and Fashion Hangs
The New Floor long chair – work in progress Assa Ashuach Studio
First images of the new Floor long chair. This object touches the floor only at three small points. its curves are Infinite, forming a one self supported surface. This new edition will be using new colour mixing and blending made by Assa to higlight this object surface and makeing it blending and modifying its surroundings
Work in In progress – The new ‘Floor long chair’ and Venturi stool painting techniques
Some new objects are materialising… working with Rob Edkins our favorite production partner on some new painting techniques… blending and playing and the end coatings will take Bentley for a walk ; )
This is the first time we are showing process images of the new ‘Floor long chair’ although this design was in sketching process for some years. Its form is subtile and balanced, the curves are functional and running long.
Some curves are at the outline and some are within the highlights, when traveling on this object surface, your eyes will be searching around, looking for an anchor point… there is no one straight line in this object design. it touches the floor at only three small points.
The Language Of Process exhibition & The addition of the new Femur stool to the MMU special collection
We are happy to part of the The Language Of Process exhibition together with Ingo Maurer, Tord Boontje, Tom Dixon and other great designers following the addition of the new Femur stool to the MMU special collection.
The landscape for design and making is changing, and with it the language of objects. The development of Computer Aided Design, new materials and digital production technologies has revolutionised the tools and opportunities available to designers. The Language of Process showcases a range of innovative products produced using cutting edge approaches to design and manufacture. It includes thirty pieces by some of the world’s leading creative designers, from established figures to up-and-coming talents.
