DEEP DIVE:
3D PRINTING BIOMATERIALS

DEEP DIVE: 3D PRINTING BIOMATERIALS
For this DEEP DIVE, we visit RUSSO BETAK, a Copenhagen-based design studio where waste-based biomaterials are transformed into lighting through 3D printing and hand shaping.
Founded by Stefannia Russo and Søren Betak, the studio brings together digital fabrication and hands-on experimentation. Flat sheets are 3D printed and shaped by hand while warm, preserving the gestures of the making process as they cool. Their approach offers a different perspective on craftsmanship and on how technology, materials and intuition can work together.
We’ll meet for an optional lunch at 12:00, included in the price, before beginning our visit at 13:00 with an introduction to RUSSO BETAK and their practice. We’ll get a closer look at the materials, tools and experiments behind their designs, exploring the journey from waste material to finished object, with time to ask questions and learn about their approach to developing forms.
Apply for a spot
To apply for a spot, you must be between 18–30 years old and have a professional interest in craft and materials. We welcome artisans, designers, students, entrepreneurs and others who work hands-on with materials.
There are 12 spots available. If you get a spot, it will cost you 25 DKK to be part of the session.
Application deadline: Friday, 6 November at 10:00.
You will be notified by email no later than Friday, 6 November at 14:00 if you have been offered a spot.
RUSSO BETAK
RUSSO BETAK is a Copenhagen-based design studio founded by Stefannia Russo and Søren Betak. Their practice combines digital fabrication, biomaterials and craftsmanship to turn waste materials into lighting. Using a self-built robotic system, they 3D print flat sheets that are shaped by hand while warm. As the material cools, it holds its form, preserving the gestures of the making process. Their work explores how technology and material intuition can come together to create new possibilities for design.
Please note
The session is taught primarily in Danish. We'll do our best to help non-Danish speakers with translations.
What is DEEP DIVE?
Focused, small-group sessions where participants work closely with specialists to explore materials, methods, and ideas in depth. Through hands-on experimentation and guided feedback, you’ll develop prototypes and gain new insights across disciplines.
Designed for students and early-stage creatives, these sessions provide time for immersion, skill-building, and meaningful exchange. Application for a spot is required, and spots are limited to ensure a dedicated and collaborative learning environment.
