Galerie VIVID in Rotterdam is pleased to announce the exhibition ‘Janne
Kyttanen’. In this exhibition Kyttanen is presenting several stories,
about himself as a designer and about the future of 3D printing. A lot
of big and small objects will be on display from March 2 till April 20,
2014. Only by using the newest techniques in the field of 3D printing
these objects were possible to produce. We will see a Ping-Pong table
with printed Ping-Pong bats and – balls, 3D printed colorful butterflies,
a bench in aluminum, a printed fashion outfit, printed selfies of Kyttanen
