How It's Made

The model is then translated into a geometric code that guides our 3D printers. Layer by layer, the lamp takes shape through the nozzle, tracing fine paths of material to build each curve and contour. What emerges is a piece shaped through patience and precision, a balance of engineering and craft.

We craft exclusively using PLA (Polylactic Acid), a plant-based material derived from renewable sources such as corn and sugarcane, designed to be industrially compostable under controlled conditions. Through fermentation and polymerisation, natural sugars are transformed into a durable material with lower reliance on fossil-based resources compared to conventional alternatives

Every design begins with inspiration,
drawn from architecture, nature or rhythm of patterns that catch the eye. What begins as a sketch evolves within a modelling software, where every line is shaped and refined with precision until the form feels balanced and ready to hold light.
