OBERDOERFER & KREBS
Emerging from the Royal Danish Academy, Copenhagen-based duo Bruno Oberdoerfer and Jasper Krebs operate their practice as a testing ground for large-scale additive manufacturing and post-industrial material circularity. The duo treats 3D-printing not as a rapid prototyping tool, but as an open, expressive medium for permanent functional furniture.
By manipulating industrial printer toolpaths and post-processing extruded sheets of recycled polymers using thermal hand-tools, Oberdoerfer & Krebs distort rigid geometric codes into fluid, self-supporting structures. Their work explores how light transmits through layered synthetics, creating translucent surfaces that react dynamically to ambient sunlight. Their objects function as light-capturing architectural accents that bridge computational design with manual post-sculpting, transforming synthetic waste into elevated spatial interventions.
