Challenge
The challenge was to design a lighting object that feels minimal, warm and distinctive without relying on decorative details. The project also explored how realistic wood textures could be translated into a manufacturable 3D-printed surface while maintaining a refined and cohesive form language.
The idea behind the Ember Pendant series was to introduce alternative, environmentally friendly design products to the market. The project was initially launched through a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
Each Ember pendant lampshade is produced using a reused wood-based filament, combining sustainability with modern manufacturing techniques. This material not only reduces waste but also gives each piece a unique, organic texture that resembles natural wood.
The design process involved careful 3D modeling using Rhinoceros, enabling precise control over the form and structure of the lampshades. This digital approach allowed for experimentation with shape, light diffusion, and surface detail, resulting in a product that is both functional and visually distinctive.
Made in cooperation with Markus Riekkinen.
