IMM Cologne 2006: the Fair (3)

After only a few years we have got used to see in main design fairs new products realised with Rapid Manufacturing ... but only a couple of years ago this was absolutely rare. I love to see how these few (for the moment) companies based only in rapid prototyping technology are growing and keep proposing beautiful and innovative objects every time.
Jiri Evenhuis and Janne Kyttanen of Freedom of Creation were awarded with Innovation Award Cologne 2006 for their 1597 lamp designed by Janne Kytannen. But what I liked most was their new version of the V_bag (in the pics), which is platted in silver. If I had those 2000 euro I would have bought it in a second, but I guess I'll have to wait.
At Cologne I could also admire Materialise.MGX latest models along with the rest of the collection. Together with the company's best seller product, the Lily lamp there was the new lamp, a geometrically faceted oval available in green.
