Fluid Forms – month of races
What? The last article was written back in October? Uff, we must have been pretty busy during the last few weeks…
Yes it’s quite obvious that our small team’s resources where occupied to push Fluid Forms further and further.
So what was going on the last weeks: Material tests, prototyping, creating a new design-your-own product, backend-improvements and an online jewelry design competition on Facebook.
But first things first!
Material Tests and prototyping:
.
We played a lot around with different materials (metals, acrylic, wood) and production methods (photo etching, laser cutting, metal 3d-printing). And the outcome? Some very very secret prototypes 
and the Streets Clock which we launched a few days ago.
.
Streets Clock ~ Your Favorite City as a Personalized Wall Clock:
.
You can design the Streets Clock yourself by entering the name of a city (perhaps downtown New York) and dragging it’s map to a preferred section.
The custom wall clock is the first Fluid Form we have co-developed with an external designer. John Briscella who we will introduce next time was doing a great job painfully collected the first metropolitan area data-sets…We think the outcome is an eclectic and stylish wall clock making a perfect present under everyone’s Christmas Tree!

Speaking of Co-Development: Fluid Forms Online Jewelry Design Competition:
.
November also saw the 1. Fluid Forms Online Design Competition on Facebook. We invited 6 Designers from Graz to participate in a first instructive (Facebook can be a bit tricky…) yet pretty cool jewelry design competition.
.
The Designers submitted 22 Designs of which 2 stand out:
.
1. THE WINNER (46 votes): Tobias Schneider’s aka Famepix’ “Sound Wave II”:
.
.
2. THE RUNNER UP (29 votes) – En Garde’s “iPod Sound Blaster”:
The winning design will be prepared now for the launch on fluid-forms.com. More t.b.a

CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN TO THE WINNER, TOBIAS SCHNEIDER AND OUR COMMUNITY FOR SUPPORTING THE DESIGNERS WITH THEIR VOTES!
