PARASITE
TO BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN MASS PRODUCTION AND CUSTOM DESIGN
TO CHALLENGE THE NOTION THAT MASS-PRODUCED FURNITURE IS INHERENTLY GENERIC AND IMPERSONAL
TO TRANSFORM MASS-PRODUCED OBJECTS INTO UNIQUE AND SUSTAINABLE PIECES THROUGH UPCYCLING
The Parasite project employs advanced 3D-printing techniques to create custom, sculptural interventions that seamlessly attach to mass-produced furniture, transforming standardized objects into unique, evolving pieces.
The process combines parametric design, algorithmic modeling, and digital fabrication, allowing each addition to respond precisely to the form and function of the existing furniture.
Parasite made its debut at the Disclosure: Design Studios Unveiled exhibition at Isola Gallery during Dutch Design Week.
How it works
01
Share your furniture
Send us photos, dimensions, and material details of your existing piece. Any mass-produced furniture can be a candidate.
02
Custom design
We collaborate with you to design a bespoke Parasite addition — tailored precisely to your furniture's form, function, and aesthetic.
03
Fabrication & delivery
We 3D-print and finish your unique sculptural element and deliver it ready to attach — redefining your furniture forever.
Do you have a piece of furniture that feels too standard or lacks character? Parasite offers a unique service to create custom 3D-printed additions for your existing furniture. By integrating sculptural elements, we transform mass-produced or ordinary furniture into one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect your style and vision.
