Working in collaboration with digital manufacturing platform Gantri, we created three lighting collections for people seeking a better approach to design, craft and sustainability as they shape and illuminate their spaces. Named Carve, Gio and Signal, the three collections are inspired by Gantri’s 3-D printing platform and the intricate, organic and unexpected possibilities it provides compared to traditional manufacturing. Sustainably produced using a corn-based material and manufactured in California, each light is printed on-demand, hand assembled and finished in a process that feels more bespoke than industrial. Featuring table, floor and wall-mounted lights, the collections come in five nature-inspired colors. The lights start at $148 and aim to make high design lighting more accessible.
Each light in the Carve Collection feels carved from stone rather than assembled like a traditionally produced industrial object. Standing upright or placed on its spine, the Carve table light casts a wide bright light illuminating work surfaces, tasks, or casts light upward to add atmosphere to a room.
The Signal Collection features slats that are fused to the main body of each light through the 3D printing process. Inspired by the functional aspects of architectural louvers, the simple geometry combined with the bold look of the louvers gives the collection a modern, sculptural look.
Inspired by Italian lighting designs of the 1970s, the Gio Collection leverages new materials and processes to give them a fresh look. We achieved the unique character of the Gio family by manipulating the different elements so they interact with each other in a playful way.
Our collections bring something fresh to the lighting category, offering consumers high quality, sustainable design at a more accessible price. With a range of floor, wall and table lights, the collections provide a number of different options for any home. The lights feature custom-built cords and switches, as well as dimmable, museum-quality LEDs that last 25,000 hours, amounting to more than 20 years of use at an average of three hours per day.
