‘From corn starch and recycled food packaging to our classic lamps locally produced in Copenhagen’

 

The Material’s Story

The lampshade is made from bioplastic derived from corn starch. Initially used in food packaging, this bioplastic is then recycled into filament for the 3D-printer, which upcycles it into the Soft Structure Pendant Lamp. The lampshade fitting is laser-cut from recycled aluminum sourced from drink cans, with an alternative option available in brass. These materials are lightweight yet durable.

All parts can be easily disassembled and replaced or recycled. No glue or screws are used; in fact, by simply applying heat from an iron, the fitting can be easily removed from the lampshade. The sustainable approach extends to the packaging, which is made from reused cardboard sourced from food packaging and recycled paper. The cardboard remains pristine, with all graphics applied to the paper wrap.


Playing with Light

The lamp captures the timeless essence of Scandinavian design and simultaneously it pushes the boundaries of tradition. While maintaining a minimalist aesthetic, it features a significant level of detail that adds depth and complexity to its appearance.

Soft Structure is inspired by the natural world, featuring soft, organic shapes with numerous arches and folds. These design elements diffuse the light and create intriguing shadow patterns, resulting in excellent lighting conditions and a unique, dynamic visual experience from various perspectives. Additionally, the lamp's open base allows it to emit direct light downwards, making it an ideal choice for hanging above a table.

 

 

New Possibilities of Production

New technology enables new forms of expressions. With 3D-printing, intricate and intriguing shapes can be realized within structural and financial constraints. Moreover, this technology offers the potential to transition from mass-production to mass-customization of designs, thereby enriching our surroundings with increased aesthetic diversity.

The Soft Structure Pendant Lamp is made on-demand, minimizing storage needs and eliminating the risk of overproduction. To ensure the highest print quality and exclusivity, only one lamp is produced per 3D printer each day. The lamp is locally manufactured, with the only international transport being the digital 3D blueprint of the design. For the Danish market, production is done in Copenhagen.
