The four members of Front have developed a method which turns freehand sketches into solid objects by combining two advanced techniques – Motion Capture and Rapid Prototyping. Pen strokes made in the air are recorded with Motion Capture and become 3D digital files; these are then materialised through Rapid Prototyping into real pieces of furniture.

Sketch Furniture was shown at Art Basel Miami / Design 05 with Barry Friedman Gallery Ltd (New York) and during Tokyo Design week 31 October’5 November 2006.
