Husband and wife design team Eric Goldemberg and Veronica Zalcberg, founders of Miami’s Monad Studio, have a consistent aesthetic. Whether they’re building a guitar or designing an office building, their work resembles something that’s crawled out of one of the Alien films. And their latest project is ambitious, to say the least.

In what may be the first 3-D printed band, the duo are entirely redesigning five instruments, which will be played live by five musicians at an upcoming performance at the 3-D Print Design Show in New York later this month. Working with artist and musician Scott F. Hall, their first design was a radically reimagined violin, an object with only two strings that looks like a terrifying sci-fi weapon.
