Selfridges recruits an 8ft ROBOT to 3D-print designer objects

British department store Selfridges has recruited an 8 foot-tall'upcycling' robot that can 3D-print recycled plastic into personalised designer objects. At Selfridges' store at Oxford Street in central London, the robot will be printing items made of plastic taken from the world's seas. It's creating a variety of designer objects from the plastic, including vases, chairs, stools and lampshades, which can be selected and bought by customers. The items have been designed by Nagami, a Spanish firm specialising in high-end furniture and homeware. The Selfridges' robot is 3D-printing the items through the rest of April, which cost anything from £155 to £830.
