‘Suple System’ by gt2P; photo by Gabriel Schkolnick

Blending together a traditional Chilean technique with modern 3D printing process, the Chilean studio gt2P (an abbreviation of ‘Great things to people’) have created this elaborate joinery system. Crafted in either aluminium or bronze, ‘Suple System’ has been first employed in the design of this simple side table made of FSC-certified Rauli beech indigenous to the forests of Chile and Argentina. The piece was presented along with gt2P’s modular ‘Cracked System’ at Milan’s Ventura Lambrate in April. (more…)

Situated on a a slope with 25% average gradient with an impressing belvedere toward the valley of Chicureo, a zone peripheral to the city of Santiago, this single family villa was designed by the Chilean architectural practice Assadi & Pulido.

Kiltro House by Supersudaka

Everything was in constant change: the program, the surface, building permits, the contractors, even the view !

The result: a mix, a bastardized design, a fusion, like a crossbreed dog, in Chilean:
A Kiltro.”
