Voxel Chair V1.0 is the first prototype designed with new design software specifically developed for 3D printing using robotic arms. Designed by Manuel Jimenez García and Gilles Retsin, the design redefines the Panton chair for reproduction in plastic materials, innovating in design and manufacturing through 3D printing.

Instead of using predefined shapes and then “cutting” them into “toolpaths” or triangular patterns, this software allows you to design and
control thousands of line fragments. After performing a structural analysis, 2.36 km of trajectory are assembled into a continuous line.

A design that marked a milestone in the world of 3D printing and art, forming part of permanent collections at venues such as the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
