![]() ![]() In 2006, Timothy Schreiber won a Red Dot Award for his Pan 07 chair design. A section through the vertical leg of the chair, for example, reveals cells with greater density towards the surface to counteract the higher tensions or compressive stresses that occur when bending. In fact, on the inside it is made of a fine grating that reduces the weight to a minimum in order to increase the resistance. This kind of control over the internal properties of the material is only possible with today’s modern digital fabrication technology that creates a modular structure with spatial structure of small interconnected struts. The PAN_07 chair was designed and manufactured by Timothy Schreiber in collaboration with Sean Hanna takes inspiration from advanced cellular lattices that occur in nature to minimize weight but maximize resistance to force. The design method with which this chair was made combines the principles of evolution and artificial intelligence to create a material that responds to its environment by increasing the density in the areas required to better withstand the external forces applied when the chair is in use. He is the only designer who has won this award in furniture category three times consecutively. He won several awards and prizes including the Red dot design award. In 2015, Schreiber showed his first works (Table Methodology) in the Bronze cast during the SOFA show in Chicago. He applied the technique of fusion of traditional Chinese glass to this Liuli, making his projects the first LiuLi furniture. ![]() In 2013, Schreiber started working in fused glass with his “icicle tables” as his first series of furniture in this material. During its design process, complex virtual models emerge which are then materialized by choosing the most appropriate available digital or traditional production methods. ![]() He uses a wide range of digital tools to incorporate various forms of “micro intelligence” and “scientific phenomena” into the concepts of his works. The main cornerstones of Timothy’s design approach are a predominantly digital workflow and a strong focus on multidisciplinarity. ![]()
