Castillo designed Kino for Decibel, an American company that specialises in 3D-printed furniture and installations. It is shortlisted for seating design of the year in the upcoming Dezeen Awards.
The designer's aim was to create a recognisable chair silhouette, while also responding to the specificities of the 3D printing process.
The chair is essentially a monobloc, with a single component forming the T-shaped seat, two legs, the shelf and a curved backrest.
Its entire form is printed from PLA, the most common bioplastic, although the material is reinforced with cellulose plant fibres. This increases its strength, enabling the cantilevered seat.
