Have you ever thought of touching noise, feeling the texture of different sounds or noise from different districts of your city?
Well, Estudio Guta Requena in corporation with Galeria Coletivo Amor de Madre did it. Initiated in 2012, ‘noize chairs’ took iconic chairs made by Brazilian designers and used their original CAD files to distort them according to noise captured by mobile phones from the streets of Sao Paulo. The resulted chairs were created using a 3D printer.
This year, in the Sao Paulo Design Week’13 (SPDW 2013), Estudio Guto Requena with a collaboration from META-D, took the project a step further creating a real-time experience. Sounds picked up from the gallery enviroment are used to transform the chairs on a computer screen.Then a Metamaquina 2 3D printer is used to create miniature chairs in biodegradable plastic.
