This article delves into the fascinating world of blob-like products and furniture, emphasizing the lofting technique that creates freeform surfaces. Lofting involves raising a series of sectional profiles to form smooth transitions between open or closed shapes, resulting in organic and iconic designs. The applications of these techniques can be seen in various products, including the Gravida Nurse Prenatal Education Device and Philips LivingColors. We also explore the impact of direct digital sculpting and 3D scanning in the design process, highlighting the Saab Roadster prototype as a case study.
