Active Wood Products
Christophe Guberan (CH) and the Self-Assembly Lab at the MIT Media Lab (US) have have developed a series of two-dimensional patterns, wood-printing techniques and processes for moistureactivation that promote precise transformation from a flat sheet to curved, twisted or folded three-dimensional forms. Active Wood Products are produced with a printed wood filament and carefully designed flat patterns that when subject to moisture can selftransform into the final shape of the product.
