The buzz surrounding 3D printers largely stems from their potential to completely reposition the location of production. Rather than things being made in factories and workshops, your house could become the base of operations as your own, personal 3D printer churns out product after product. However the day where we can simply press a button and wait a few seconds for your brand new set of plates to pop out of the machine may still be a way off.

But that doesn't mean the average home is completely without its production capabilities. Product designer David Steiner explores this idea in his latest project that sees a series of everyday objects, from cutlery to lampshades, built using only household appliances. For example he repurposed an embroidery hoop into a rotating cast and a blender into a pottery wheel, and with these new tools, produces bowls, bottle openers and drink mats to name a few.

Aside from staking his claim as the MacGyvor of product design, RCA student Steiner's In House project also prepares us for the possibility that our homes may become the production site of everything we own.
