Martí Guixé Roca. Glasses and bowls for the Ex-Designer Project Bar

Ex-Designer has now become a movement.

The concept for Ex-Designer came about in 2001 to showcase Martí Guixé’s design work, which is the result of the decontextualisation that often characterises his work. In 2002, together with Inga Knölke, the concept was presented at the Evolutionäre Zellen contest in Berlin. It was presented as a generic system that confers a new status on the profession and, therefore, allows constraints imposed by the discipline to be transcended. Ex-Designer has now become a movement. One of his lines of work was to set up the Exdesigner Project Bar, empty premises that were built little by little using 3D printers. 

In partnership with Coudre Studio, Martí Guixé came up with the idea of making some ceramic goblets and bowls printed in 3D. After a number of trials, they made this first line of stoneware and ceramic tableware printed in different shades, which allowed them to carry on rolling out the concept of 3D printing in the whole space, but with the strength and resistance of conventional utensils. These goblets and blows can be tried out and bought at the Ex-Designer Project Bar.
