12 3D printed shoes for 12 lovers

In collaboration with the shoe brand Melissa, Chilean artist Sebastian Errazuriz has created a series of 12 3D printed shoes inspired by his former romantic relationships. Each creation has its own story and a name evoking his exes: "LaBoss", "the Heartbreaker" or "the Diamond Cruncher". The artist first conceptualized the 3D files according to what his love memories inspired him. He then printed the 3D models on an experimental MakerBot printer, the Replicator 2X. Theoretically, the shoes are all functional, but the artist envisioned them more as small sculptures. The exhibition "12 Shoes for 12 Lovers" can be seen until January 5, 2014 in Miami in a pop-up store of the brand.
