GENERATIVE MANUFACTURING
Crafting the Future
Generative manufacturing revolutionizes product creation by merging traditional craftsmanship with advanced digital techniques, enabling the production of unique serialized pieces. It allows for highly personalized designs that remain unique within a series, leveraging long-form generative art and user input to ensure no two items are identical. This innovative approach harmonizes individuality with scalable production, paving the way for a future where bespoke customization and mass manufacturing coexist seamlessly, offering unprecedented levels of personalization and creative expression.
Turning Ideas into Reality
Both Plateau Candy and fxhash, the world’s largest generative platform, recognized the immense potential in this forward-thinking technology. To bring this vision to life, we co-founded SUPERSTRUCTURES. With our initial drops—one in Interior Design and the other in Fashion—coming in Summer/Fall 2024, we aim to demonstrate proof of concept for product creation in the premium and luxury goods markets. To make this a reality, we transformed this concept with fxhash into a sophisticated post-web3 UX minting platform and established a new brand, all powered by fxhash technology.
THE VENTURE
A new chapter
SUPERSTRUCTURES marks a paradigm shift by blending digital innovation with physical manufacturing. This venture produces a new category of distinctive, interconnected consumer goods, characterized by algorithmic diversity and user co-creation. Establishing a new relationship with products, where users inscribe themselves into the creation process, it stands in contrast to fast interior or fast fashion. Unlike these transient, impersonal goods, SUPERSTRUCTURES offers a new breed of products that fuse design, art, and personalization, reflecting a significant evolution in the conception and production of premium and luxury items.
From 1/1 to 1/1/X
Generative manufacturing evolves from handcrafted bespoke items (1/1) to unique serialized pieces (1/1/X). Starting with one-of-a-kind creations, it progresses through mass customization (1/X), offering limited personalization options. The pinnacle is individual uniqueness within a series (1/1/X), using long-form generative art to create each product uniquely within a collection. This method blends millions of possible combinations with co-creative user input, harmonizing personalization and scalable production through a code-driven artistic vision.
THE ALBERS COLLECTION by TYP X BRUCE BUSIA
Presenting the Albers Collection by TYP x Bruce Busia: an exclusive, limited release featuring Josef Albers' iconic Lounge Chair, Daybed, and Block. This collection merges the Bauhaus legacy, with interiors published exclusively by TYP, and code-based art by Bruce Busia, a code artist strongly inspired by Anni Albers' textile designs. Each item is upholstered with fabric crafted by a digital loom into intricate textiles. This innovative collection blends art, design, and personalization, establishing a new standard of sophistication in the digital age.
