Hailing from the Netherlands, Daniel de Bruin is a designer of prototypical machines, devices, and tools.
Fueled by a never-ending curiosity for the possibilities of machines, he models prototypes for the most bizarre applications. This includes a fully mechanical 3D printer, a scanner big enough for a human, and an interactive economy simulator using marbles.
His designs push the boundaries of machine design to the realm of the arts. And when you see his contraptions, I would not blame you if you thought they were sculptures or art installations.
“they challenge our understanding of mechanization and question an increasingly automated environment”
