So, with our unique technological process, everyone can enjoy the unique structures without harming nature. The inspiration comes from visits to the national heritage site.
- Research
- The research behind this object was to develop an innovative process to create well-balanced art resembling the inspiration from the Bohemian Paradise rock formations while the end product was sturdy but a lightweight. Also, a lot of research went into the finishing and possible customizations such as size, color, and hand-made packaging.
- Challenge
- Inventing the technological process, so the sculpture was firm to the required shape and still with the original artwork reminiscent of rock formations.
- Realization and Technology

- Operation and Interaction
