Setae Flatware by Francis Bitonti

I was casually scrolling Instagram and I came across this unique set of flatware. I immediately wonder how they made these in mass production as it would be very expensive with highly precise measurements. After a little bit of Googling, I found out that Francis Bitonti, the NYC based designers has his obsession using 3D printers for the fashion industry. From gowns, dresses, heels and now flatware. He has not made lots of experiments but his work is highly known like the Mutatio 3D printed shoe that is featured by the United Nude,  a design company specialising in high heels. 

This flatware is made my metal 3D printers with algorithmic generated design. The uniquely interwoven design of the flatware seems to be inspired by Elven and Celtic folklore, looking fit for use at a royal Medieval dining table. After the metal 3D printed flatware is produced, a sterling silver finish is added to give it a shiny veneer.

“My design process is a collaboration with artificial intelligence,” he has explained. “We’re transposing these ideas from digital design methodologies to tangible consumer experiences and products.”
