The fabrication have been made wih 3D printing, wich was the only way to produce this pretty complex shape.
By now you can see the first prototype of this rack at the Cooper-Hewitt Design museum in NYC.
Frank is not the winner of the competition but his work really attract the curiosity and helped him to get the attention that his work deserve.
By the way you can see the winners of the competiton there...
