The making

Four steps. One slow architecture.

  1. 01

    Designed in code

    Parametric forms and generative textures. Every curve is a decision made in software before a gram of material is used.

    Contour · 0.20 mm layer height

  2. 02

    Printed in layers

    Corn-starch PLA and bio-silk resin, laid down two-tenths of a millimetre at a time. A JAL pendant takes fourteen hours. The layer lines are the memory of its making.

    Finished by hand

    Sanded, sealed, wired and polished in the studio — six more hours. No two pieces leave the bench identical.

Studio note

We print slowly, on purpose.

A single chandelier takes fourteen hours to print, then another six to finish by hand. The layer lines are not a flaw — they are the memory of the object's making. A study in translucency. A study in time. A study in light.

Materials

Three materials. Sustainable by default.

  • 01

    Corn-starch PLA

    Plant-derived, matte, warm to the touch. Our workhorse for opaque forms — vases, sconces, sculptural bodies.

    Opaque · Matte

  • 02

    Recycled PETG

    Post-consumer bottles, reborn as tough, sealed shells for floor lamps and outdoor-facing pieces.

    Durable · Sealed

  • 03

    Bio-silk resin

    Translucent, silk-sheen, printed thin. This is the material that turns a JAL pendant into weather on a wall.
