The Copenhagen studio of Stefannia Russo and Søren Betak exists at the frontier of computational design, material upcycling, and tactile hand-sculpting. Working with a custom-engineered robotic setup,the duo extrudes molten sheets of bio-composite derived from upcycled marine waste.

Rather than allowing the algorithmic toolpath to dictate the ultimate shape, Russo and Betak manually fold, pull, and shape the warm printed polymer sheets before they set. This deliberate human intervention interrupts the cold precision of the machine, creating luminous, translucent lighting structures where every ribbon of material retains the subtle mark of manual gesture. As ambient light filters through the coiled, hand-manipulated layers, their objects soften spatial atmosphere and bring a warm, tactile presence into contemporary architectural settings, demonstrating how digital fabrication can yield deeply organic, humanized forms.
