art.grid Elements Basic-grid – Reimagining Modularity

The concept behind art.grid Elements stemmed from a practical need:

To create stylish wall cladding that is not only visually appealing but also functional

Initially conceived as a kitchen backsplash, the concept rapidly evolved into a modular system that can be flexibly expanded, customized in color, and utilized for storage

Unparalleled Wall Flexibility

The system's core is the modular grid, available in various designs. While Elements Metro features elongated tiles, Elements Cubic offers a more rectangular format. However, this is merely the beginning: each grid element can be expanded, combined, and personalized

Sophisticated Design – Effortless Application

Whether you wish to discreetly route cables, connect multiple grids, or securely mount your system to the wall using screws – art.grid Elements Basic-grid simplifies the process. Its ingenious design enables effortless installation and flexible expansion. Furthermore, you can refresh your design with new colors and styles at any time

Limitless Expandability

This project is just the beginning. Future expansions will seamlessly integrate into the system – from additional mounting solutions to new design elements

Elevate your walls – with art.grid Elements Basic-grid. Modular. Functional. Future-proof

Effort and Costs

Printing art.grid Elements is easily calculable – even though the entire project spans several days

A Wall-Mount Plate 2x2 requires approximately 35 g of PLA and about 2 hours of print time

The accompanying Wall Dividers require an additional 30 g and approximately 2.1 hours

A complete Metro Elements set (7 pieces in various sizes) requires approximately 78 g of PLA and 3 hours of print time

A single large Metro tile weighs approximately 20 g

The project utilizes two types of PLA: matte black for the base structure (Wall-Mounts & Dividers) at €16/kg and colored PLA for the design elements at €20/kg

Thus, the project remains cost-transparent, well-plannable, and entirely feasible for makers with standard printers, even at larger scales

Printing Overview – art.grid Elements Basic-grid (for 1 Wall-Mount 2x2 including Metro Set)

Optional:

• A single large Metro tile costs approximately €0.40 (20 g at €20/kg)
• Printing multiple sets simultaneously allows for optimization through clever nesting and color changes

💡 Conclusion: A fully equipped module costs under €3 in materials and can be produced with standard FDM printers in approximately 7 hours – ideal for modular construction over several days

Ready for a Transformation?

If you're yearning for a change – whether through new colors, shapes, or expansions of your art.grid Elements – you can do so with a clear conscience

The modules are made of PLA, a bio-based plastic derived from renewable resources such as cornstarch. While PLA recycling is currently challenging due to the limited availability of appropriate collection and recycling systems, PLA represents a step in the right direction: away from fossil fuels towards more sustainable materials. Companies like QiTech and TotalEnergies Corbion are already demonstrating how PLA can be recycled. Therefore, every modification contributes not only to the personalization of your project but also to a more environmentally friendly future
