Blobwall

Blobwall, made from a lightweight honeycomb material developed by Panelite, is “a freestanding, indoor/outdoor wall system made of a low-density, recyclable, and impact-resistant polymer.”

Designed by Venice Beach, California architect Greg Lynn, the idea originated while playing with his children and he began wondering how he might recycle his children's outgrown plastic toys to build outdoor architectural and reusable structures.

The elemental unit of blogwall is an innovative redefinition of the brick into a lightweight interconnectable object made of colorful plastic and reinterpreted into modular elements. Lynn presented the Blobwall Pavilion in Miami in December 2007 as a freestanding, indoor/outdoor wall system built of the recycled polymer forms.

The blob unit, or “brick,” is a robotically cut, mass-produced, hollow tri-lobed shape formed through rotational molding in collaboration with Machineous. located in Los Angeles performs precision multi-axis cutting using robotic arm technology.
