KOUMBI – FROM THE LAYRAMIC PROJECT

Koumbi is a collection of 3D printed ceramic door knobs born from the Layramic research project – a collaboration between Studio Minimetre and designer Guillaume Slizewicz. Each knob is shaped by a parametric algorithm that generates forms randomly through code – making every design unique and unrepeatable.

The Layramic project explores the intersection of generative design and ceramic 3D printing. The shapes – star, coral and spiral – are not drawn by hand but computed: the code defines the rules, randomness defines the form. Each 3D printed ceramic door knob is then produced in our Brussels studio through clay extrusion, kiln firing and hand finishing.
