Emerging Objects is a leading, independent and creatively driven "MAKE-tank" dedicated to pioneering 3D printed architecture and innovative spaces for living and working. We specialize in pushing the boundaries of material science, utilizing multi-material printing and a wide range of additive manufacturing techniques, including SLS, FDM, 3DP, and LOM. Our unique expertise allows us to craft building components and products from unconventional materials such as locally harvested salt, unfired clay, ceramic, and recycled rubber content from tires. The company was co-founded by renowned pioneers in the field, Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, who also serve as Professors of Architecture and Design, respectively. This dedication to innovation has earned us significant recognition, including the prestigious Cooper Hewitt National Design Award for Digital Design in 2025.
