The Solar-Sinter

Markus Kayser is a German designer and artist working with solar energy and 3D printing to produce objects from sand and glass. His practice interrogates renewable energy and material transformation through direct environmental engagement, particularly in desert settings. Using custom-built solar-powered equipment, he has produced glass vessels and sculptural forms by harnessing concentrated sunlight. His work sits at the intersection of speculative engineering, craft, and land-based production.
