Ahead of the 2025 National Design Awards, we're shining the spotlight on this year's awardees. 🏆 Up next? Digital Design winner Emerging Objects (@emergingobjects)!

Ronald Rael (@rrael) and Virginia San Fratello (@vasfsf), founders of Emerging Objects, specialize in innovations in 3D printing architecture, products, software, hardware, and materials. They view themselves as digital alchemists, material scientists, and cooks, saying they see themselves “inventing recipes that allow us to ask questions about the future of the digital world through the lens of 3D printing.”
