Designer Spotlight: Mani Zamani

Date: July 21, 2015

This week we’re excited to highlight Mani Zamani. Mani creates fascinating and mesmerizing creatures that are truly beautiful examples of what 3D printing can do.

Tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? Where are you located?
I am Mani Zamani a digital artist, product and toy designer. Let's say I am a citizen of internet 😉

What’s the story behind your designs? What inspires you?
I am the child of the ‘80s with many visual influences of Japanese animes and pop culture mixed with today’s modern art flavor. I love it when technology becomes a tool in the hand of artists for any type of self-expression.

How did you learn how to design in 3D?
I am self-taught. Teachers are useless, learn yourself.

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS SHOP:

Dear Mani,
I love your work! Intricate yet have so much fantastic fluidity! Can you please tell me what program you use to make such amazing pieces? I am using SketchUp for most of my building/mechanical objects, and really having a hard time with 3DsMax right now.
