⁣“THE OBJECT 01” is a 3D-printed chair conceived as both an architectural object and a functional piece of furniture. ⁣It blends minimalist brutalism with Japanese restraint, shaped by proportion, mass, and negative space instead of decoration.⠀⠀It’s printed from recycled plastic (PETG) using a modular system and finished in a cold gray tone called “Kyoto Fog.” The chair weighs 20 kg and looks heavier than it actually is.⠀⠀I’m aiming for a future where sustainable furniture is made through optimized 3D printing and recycled materials. The modular approach is efficient and precise. It saves material, reduces weight, and turns ideas into real objects with less waste.⠀⠀This is a usable art object.

⁣⁣Designing this chair was not easy. It came to life through constant experimentation, mixed techniques, and many rounds of iteration.⠀⠀⠀The chair is 3D printed from recycled plastic (PETG) in a modular system, then finished in a cold gray tone called Kyoto Fog. It weighs 20 kg and appears more massive than it is.⠀⠀⠀⠀My goal was to create a more sustainable piece of furniture through optimized 3D printing and recycled materials. The process is modular, efficient, and precise. It reduces waste, lowers overall weight, and transforms ideas into real objects with less material. ⁣I used AI to speed up the entire workflow from early sketches and form studies to technical testing and final refinement. It significantly reduced development time. The future of sustainable furniture may depend on optimized 3D printing and AI driven research and development.⠀⠀⠀This is a functional art object. A sculpture you can sit on at home or in a park. A small piece of architecture that shapes the space around it.⠀⠀⠀⠀Specs (Prototype 01)⠀⠀Material: Recycled PETG⠀⠀Weight: 20 kg⠀⠀Dimensions: 1.320 m (L) × 0.815 m (W) × 0.875 m (H)⠀⠀Finish: Kyoto Fog (cold gray)⠀⠀⠀⠀Photo credits:⠀⠀Shot & directed by @phillipkrus by @nakobaev

⁣⠀It began as a simple sketch, just a few decisive lines.⠀⠀“THE OBJECT 01” is a 3D-printed chair conceived as both an architectural object and a functional piece of furniture. It sits between minimal brutalism and Japanese restraint, built around proportion, mass, and negative space rather than decoration.⠀⠀Printed in recycled PETG with a modular block logic and finished in cold grey which I personally call “Kyoto Fog”. With a weight of 20 kilos, it looks heavier than it is.⠀⠀This is the future I’m betting on, sustainable furniture shaped by optimized 3D-printing workflows, recycled materials, and a mindset that values clarity over excess. The result is modular, efficient, and precise. It saves material, keeps the structure light, and brings ideas out of the viewport and into the real world with less waste.⠀⠀It’s an art statement you can actually use, a sculpture you can sit on indoors or in a park, a small architecture that anchors the room.⠀⠀⠀Specs (Prototype 01)⠀⠀⠀- Material: PETG (recycled)⠀- Weight: 20 kg⠀- Size: 1.320 m (L) / 0.875 m (H) / 0.815 m (W)⠀- Finish: Cold Grey “Kyoto Fog”⠀⠀⠀Credits:⠀Shot & Directed by @phillipkrus Gaffer - @filmedbydankin Script Assistant - @borba.one by @nakobaev

⁣⁣Nebulae are basically giant clouds of gas and dust, the raw material for new stars and planets. ⁣🌌☁⠀⠀⠀As gravity compresses the clouds, new stars form and illuminate it, while their radiation sculpts those soft, smoky shapes. In a way, it’s the universe recycling itself. ⁣♻ ⠀⠀⠀And yeah, we’re made from the same stardust that’s been around since the very beginning. ⁣✨🪐☄️⠀⠀⠀⠀Made with Geometry Nodes and rendered in Blender Cycles.⁣⁣ ⁣🧬🛠️🎞️✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣#blender #blender3d #cyclesrender #cgart #3dart by @nakobaev

⁣Black holes are weird because you don’t actually see them. You see what they do to everything around them. ⁣This is a simulation of a supermassive black hole, capturing light bending, warping, and looping as it gets pulled in. ⁣🌌🕳️⠀⠀Made with Geometry Nodes and rendered in Blender Cycles. ⁣⁣🪐✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣#blender #blackhole #geometrynodes #cyclesrender #3dart by @nakobaev

Our work on @amiri ‘s new eyewear collection campaign. ⠀⁣(Personal Cut)⠀⠀⠀Client - @amiri @mikeamiri ⠀Agency - why.cgi⠀The collection captures subtle nods to mid‑century modernism, vintage film stills and the textures of Hollywood’s cultural past, expressed through refined acetate frames, sculptural lines and intricate detailing. Handcrafted in Fukui, Japan by expert artisans, each silhouette (Mulholland, Sunset, Venice and Hollywood) evokes an iconic Los Angeles locale and embodies its own distinct identity.⠀⠀-⠀⁣⁣⁣#3dart #digitalart #maxon #cgiart #cgiartist #3dartist #redshift3d #maxonc4d #redshift #c4d #cinema4d #cgi #lighting #blenderl #design #motiongraphics #motiondesign #cinematic ⁣#nakobaev #3D #octane #unrealengine ⁣#productanimation #amiri #eyewear #fashion #luxury ⁣#visualization #product #motion⠀ by @nakobaev
