Eumakers
Eumakeit
Industrial Design
Eumakers produces biodegradable filament for 3D printers, in over 100 colours.
The filament is wound on a reel and then broken down into 10 parts. Each recovered part is used to create 3D printed design objects.
These objects are biodegradable. They are manufactured by recycling reel parts (which otherwise would have ended up in landfills!) and can be customised in an infinite series of colour combinations. In the case of “Il Mio Veronese”, part of the object is made using production waste from biodegradable waste sorting bags. This is properly recycled and transformed into the filament that will be used to print it in 3D.
The collection – consisting of over 90 objects created by our designers – expresses our passion for the circular economy and upcycling.
“IL MIO VERONESE”
The proposal to create (using some coil components) an object that winds the filaments for “Eumakers” 3D printers, immediately led me to think of a vase called “Il Veronese”. This was painted on canvas (the Annunciation of the Virgin, 1578) by Paolo Caliari – also known as “Il Veronese” – for the School of Merchants of Cannaregio. The painting is now exhibited in the “Accademia” Gallery in Venice.
The vase, in transparent glass, is on the balustrade on the right-hand side of the painting, behind the Virgin Mary. In 1921, the Murano artist Vittorio Zecchin, the artistic director of the V.S.M. Cappellin Venini & C., made it in Murano glass, and it is still produced by Venini. The architect Umberto Riva, on the other hand, transformed it into a table lamp for Barovier and Toso. Furthermore, Cleto Munari, in 2002, created 10 versions by as many artists, architects and designers invited by him, who interpreted it in a very personal way. “Il mio Veronese” is another version of the vase (by an unknown author) immortalised in the painting 440 years ago. The used parts of the coil incredibly reflect some parts of the vase, respecting its original proportions. The function of the vase, however, has changed thanks to a horizontal division, transforming it into a biscuit jar or two chalices
