A beautiful translucent tea candle light which will look great on any table. The sleek and simple design goes well with many styles. The petals are quite thin to let the light through, yet the model is not overly fragile.

This light has been successfully tested with standard sized tea candles. However, as this model is made of plastic, use the usual safety precautions when using with candles and fire - never leave unattended, keep away from combustible material, and keep out of the hands of children.

This 7" pendant lamp is covered by ridges and valleys that transmit different amounts of light when illuminated; they furnish a striking pattern whether the lamp is on or off.

We created the form by simulating a process where two chemicals diffuse across a surface and react with one another to form stable patterns. This process, reaction-diffusion, can be used to explain the intricate patterns found on the skin of many types of animals, from the spots of leopards to the radiating stripes of angelfish. Growing a pattern with different parameters can produce dramatically different results.

Here, we orchestrated a pattern that twists elegantly towards the base of the lamp where it terminates in a gentle spiral. Lines diverge and converge along the contours of the sphere, blanketing the surface in many deep grooves. We think the pattern recalls the forms of sand dunes and hard corals.

Only the shade portion of the lamp is shipped by shapeways. The light fixture can be purchased separately from us, email us at hello@n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com

Light Fixture The lamp comes with an eco-friendly 3-watt LED light fixture with three bright Cree LED's that will last for 6 years of continuous use. It is UL-listed and plugs into the wall.

While provocatively curved, she is indeed very shy!
She only allows a glowing glimpse of what she holds inside.

There are forms however that we consider to be pleasing to the eye that are both chaotic and graceful. Smoke trails have a unpredictability to their form that is so random in design language it can be difficult to understand why we find them so attractive. Smoke art from Japan really shows off the abstract forms and complex, graceful patterns. Much like the elegant silk strings that appear from the end of an incense stick, that once reach a certain height evolve into a completely different form with unique characteristics . The Flo hanging light shade emanates a ethereal, atmospheric glow.

A plain, unperforated version of the Yin-Yang lamp. In Chinese philosophy, the concept of Yin-Yang -- literally meaning "shadow and light" -- is used to describe how seemingly opposite forces are interconnected in the natural world. Many natural dualities (dark & light, female & male, water & fire, etc.) are thought of as physical manifestations of the yin-yang concept.

In this lamp, yin and yang are complementary forces, interacting to form a whole greater than either separate part. 

This softly wrapped surface makes an amazing lamp, bright on the left side and darker on the right. This lamp could simply not exist without 3D-printing. The surface is entirely defined by a mathematical function, transformed into a polygonal mesh using the open source software "functy". This polygonal mesh has then been finalized using the open source software blender (addition of a thicker border, feets, internal cavity for the LED lamp).

The lamp is provided as is, with no lighting or electrical equipment. The cavity in the middle of the lamp can host a GU-10 based LED lamp (the hole has a 52mm diameter, the GU-10 LED lamps are 50mm large). With few watts, these LEDs can provide a powerful light, equivalent to a 30 to 70 W traditional lamp. They can be directly connected to the grid (do not require a dedicated transformer).finalized using blender (addition of a thicker border, feets, internal cavity for the lamp).
