TOP 1: DRAWN Furniture
Drawn is a French company that has developed its XXL 3D printer called Galatéa to create custom furniture and decoration.

The users can choose the colour and shape of their furniture and watch the 3D printing of his chair for example.
TOP 2: Print Your City Project
If you walk the streets of Amsterdam or along the coast in Thessaloniki, Greece, you may see 3D printed street furniture, including benches. They were made from the plastic waste of the city’s inhabitants. This waste was recycled and transformed into 3D printing filament. This initiative clearly shows that 3D technologies have a key role to play in preserving our environment and can create value in all sectors of activity.
