More about Elise: http://www.eli5e.nl/en/ More about i.materialise: https://i.materialise.com/ Industrial Designer Elise Luttik from Amsterdam, founder of design studio eli5e, creates stunning interior design objects, product designs, and furniture. From Polyamide to Ceramics and Transparent Resin, she has created outstanding gadgets and décor items with the help of 3D printing. For our latest video interview, we met up with Elise to learn more about the passion that drives her. Elise likes playful designs with a twist that make people think twice before using an item – and that make them smile. Her inspiration to start using 3D printing came to her at the SXSW Conference in Austin, Texas: “I see 3D printing as a sustainable driver for my design studio. I think it is great that as a start-up you get the opportunity to develop high-quality products without the need for big investments.” The Dutch designer finds most of her inspiration for new designs while traveling, and always carries her sketchbook with her in case something catches her eye. “I get inspiration during my trips abroad. Foreign cultures inspire me to change my view on daily matters. I always carry my little sketchbook with me, so whenever an idea pops up, I make sure to write it down or draw a quick sketch,” she told us.
