Hong Kong, September 2024 – Francois Hurtaud Studio is proud to announce their latest collaboration with Hong Kong's leading additive manufacturing company, FabNotion. Together, they are launching Poly Pas Poli, a unique and creative interpretation of traditional home decor pieces. Each item in this collection is crafted using a single continuous spiral line, resulting in seamless forms that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The designs are inspired by the intricate and delicate patterns found in nature, specifically honeycomb structures.

"The idea behind Poli Pas Poly is to democratise the access to 3D-printed products" says Francois Hurtaud. "Through our partnership with FabNotion, we have been able to optimize the production cost to create unique and functional pieces for the modern home without the hefty price tag that often comes along."

Over the past decade, FabNotion has established itself as a leader in additive manufacturing in Hong Kong, providing end-to-end solutions for various industries such as jewelry, fashion, and now home decor. With their expertise in 3D printing and materials engineering, they were able to bring the studio's vision to life by optimizing the print time and material use.
