The .stl series

The .stl series begins with the overlooked structures of everyday packaging and storage. Forms made to contain, protect and organise are removed from their original function and reconsidered as objects in their own right.

Through observation, digital modelling and additive manufacturing, familiar structures are reduced, repeated and rearranged. What begins as something temporary and anonymous is translated into a more permanent physical form.

The series begins with ordinary forms found in packaging and storage — structures designed to be temporary, repeatable and anonymous.

Their proportions, cavities, edges and methods of assembly are collected as an informal archive of forms that often disappear once their function has been fulfilled.

Unfolding

Selected packaging forms are used as physical references for scale, proportion and construction. Their dimensions, folds, edges and methods of assembly are observed and extracted, not as forms to be directly reproduced, but as a set of structural relationships that can be translated into something new.


The structures are unfolded into flattened constructions, exposing the lines through which a flat surface is scored, folded and assembled into volume. These construction lines become an important reference within the series: just as folds remain visible in paper and cardboard packaging, the layers of 3D printing register the process through which the digital object is built. In both cases, the surface carries a trace of its own making.


By moving between the original package and its unfolded state, familiar objects are reduced to a system of proportions, boundaries and connections. The resulting drawings act as an intermediate language between the found object and the finished form.
