Gijs van der Velden joined Joris Laarman Lab in 2009.

The Lab’s Bone Chair (2006) is widely praised as a modern design icon. Its work is in the permanent collections of MoMA, V&A, Centre Pompidou and the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.

In this Lab the future of digital production is subject of critical and visionary research. It developed a robotic 3D printer that can print big objects, out of the box, in metals and resins.

In 2014 this became: MX3D, Multiple aXis 3D printing. MX3D set out on a journey to 3D print a metal bridge over a canal in the Red Light District of Amsterdam.
