Traditional techniques merged with advanced technological methods produced the experimental NETwork edition by Studio Aisslinger. The NETwork stitched furniture edition consists of armchairs, stools, and lamps that were transformed from 2D embroidery to pop-up objects. The stitched honeycomb objects are lightweight and transparent.

The process as explained by Studio Aisslinger: The volumes are first translated with software into 2D projections of themselves that can be directly programmed into the machines that stitch the pattern into a carrying surface. The carrying surface is then dissolved and the embroidered 2d pattern becomes free to form a 3D object. The objects formed by the stitched honeycomb structures are fixed over a fiberglass mould and impregnated with resin in order to make them rigid and constructive.
