Analogue Generative Design
Ferrofusion is an innovative exploration into the realm of analogue generative design, bypassing the digital to directly manipulate the physical. This project employs magnetic fields and a specialy developed magnetic material that hardens in ten minutes, creating intricate frame joineries.
By trying to recreate the complex patterns of generative design, typically produced by computer algorithms, Ferrofusion showcases a groundbreaking approach to design and creation. This process highlights the beauty and potential of natural forces, offering a unique blend of art and functionality. Ferrofusion reimagines the possibilities of design, presenting a method for creating modern, functional and unique art.
Step into the future of design where nature’s forces replace the digital, and witness the transformative power of Ferrofusion in shaping our living spaces.
