Benjamin Hubert collaborated with the Layer design studio and the Belgian Materialise Company, a world leader in 3D software, to create a truly unusual and very useful and deluxe design.

Why is this chair so ingenious?

The prototype of this deluxe wheelchair is the result of six-months of research carried out by the Layer Company in cooperation with wheelchair users and physicians. The resulting wheelchair adapts precisely to the user’s body shape, weight and individual disability, which means it reduces injuries and increases comfort, flexibility and support.

The deluxe London-based Layer studio describes the designer GO wheelchair as a “tool” to improve the quality of life of wheelchair users. The 3D printed chair will be fitted with a custom-made seat and footrests. And we must also add that this project is the result of two-years of collaboration with the Belgian Materialise Company, a world leader in 3D software.

The application allows you to choose specific properties

The attached GO application enables users to take part in the process of designing the wheelchair by specifying optional elements, patterns and colours when placing an order. As soon as the wheelchair is designed and ordered by means of the application, it could be delivered within two weeks.

3D printing technology gives life to a deluxe custom-made wheelchair

3D printing technology still has inexhaustible potential and is currently experiencing an unbelievable boom across all sectors. Many products are printed, building structures, shoes and various components. 3D printing is very useful for making wheelchairs, because it is capable of using available technology to record the unique shape of a person’s body, thereby improving the shape of a very necessary product and providing exceptional comfort.

The seat is printed using two materials: semi-transparent resin and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) plastic, which dampens shocks, while titanium will be used for construction of the foot rests.

Isn’t this a noble and magnificent plan for using 3D printing technology in a field where it could really help?

When the brilliant idea of building a unique deluxe designer gem in the middle of nature came about, Zaha Hadid knew how to impress people.

Futuristic building by Zaha Hadid owns Russian billionaire Doronin

This is no dream, illusion or fairy tale.

There is a house called Capital Hill residence near Moscow deep in the Russian forest of Barvikha. A place in which beautiful trees such as pines and birches rise to 20 metres above the ground. This is where Zaha Hadid designed a unique private residential project and placed her imprint on it. This deluxe gem is intended for the “Russian James Bond” Vladislav Doronin, who is also the chairman of the Aman Resorts chain.

A house that makes your most secret dreams come true

The architect based her design on the owner’s desire to wake up and see only the blue sky, feel free, with free thoughts and know that there were no neighbours around him. And this desire is what the house is adapted to.

It has two sections: one is immersed in the sloping forested landscape and the second is 22 metres above the ground. The highest part of the house, which is 36 metres above ground, is connected to the rest of the house through a slim column, which you enter through a glass lift or concrete staircase. This space is built with pure glazed walls. The house is made for spending time in peace and quiet, undisturbed by anything.

A uniqueness that comes from the nature of this amazing architect

The initial project visuals were published for the first time in 2008. The first photographs of the project appeared a year later and the building has only just been completed.

The layout of the house covers four levels - two floors contain the living room, dining room, kitchen, entertainment areas, an indoor swimming pool and recreational facilities. The entrance foyer, library, guest room and children’s playroom are located on the first floor, while the main bedroom and outdoor terraces on the elevated upper corner rise above the trees and afford extensive views of the surrounding area.

Business partner Patrick Schumacher said about Zaha Hadid: "This is a masterpiece. It bears Zaha’s signature, organic intricacy and a complex spatial layout, an enormous dose of surprise and abundant invention and beauty."
