A Fashion Show Like No Other

The World’s First Fashion Show to Exclusively Feature 3D Printed Designs

On April 18th, new 3D printed creations from renowned designers Elvis Pompilio, Niccolò Casas and Daniel Widrig made their debut during a special catwalk event in Leuven, Belgium.  3D printed designs have appeared in London and Paris Fashion Weeks, but this event marked the first time that a collection of 3D printed creations by different designers was unveiled on the same runway.  The fashion show of 3D printed designs formed part of the World Conference on additive manufacturing, and was hosted by .MGX and Materialise.


In addition to the work of these celebrated designers, the creations of the twenty finalists in the Hats Off to 3D Printing design contest also headed down the catwalk.  From among their 3D printed hats and hair accessories, Mark Bloomfield was declared the winner for his creation entitled “Daisy”.  Heading the jury was master milliner Elvis Pompilio; Didier Vervaeren, former director of the Ter Kameren Fashion School; and Wilfried Vancraen, CEO of Materialise.

Cadence.MGX Wins 2011 Good Design Award

.MGX is thrilled to announce that the Cadence.MGX pendant lamp by One & Co. has won a 2011 Good Design Award.  This marks the fourth time in as many years that .MGX has been acknowledged by Good Design for outstanding product development.  In 2008, it was for both the One_Shot.MGX stool and the Sequence.MGX fruit bowl, and in 2010, the Bloom lamp received the coveted prize.

By transitioning from a rigid pattern to a flexible surface, the Cadence.MGX brings to life an idea once thought impossible to produce in a single material, and showcases the incredible possibilities of 3D printing.

Founded in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., Good Design bestows international recognition upon designers and manufacturers for advancing new, visionary, and innovative product concepts, and for stretching the envelope beyond what is considered basic product and consumer design.

The Good Design Awards are conferred annually by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design together with the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
