The tables in the Plumón collection are made using an innovative method, 3D stoneware printing. 3D printing and new technologies offer endless possibilities and open the doors to a vast uncharted territory, on both an industrial and an aesthetic level. We wanted to try out some of these possibilities that would be completely impossible with the traditional production method: shapes, textures, sizes, and a constructive system that only this method offers. The opportunity to formally change each manufactured part, with no two alike, affords a unique productive freedom. The fact that no mould is required, that the parts are fired at low temperature, shortens the process and enables a more dynamic and agile approach to the project. ‘To undertake this experimental project, on the initiative of Kettal, a multidisciplinary team was put together, with the 3D printing company La Máquina by Noumena developing the engineering and production aspects, Patricia Urquiola in charge of formal and conceptual design, and manufacturing by Kettal.
