The Hyphae lamp is a series of organic table lamps based on how veins form in leaves. Each lamp is a completely one-of-a-kind design 3D-printed in nylon plastic. The lamps are lit by eco-friendly LED's and cast dramatic branching shadows on the wall and ceiling.

About Hyphae
Hyphae is a collection of 3D printed artifacts constructed of rhizome-like networks. Inspired by the vein structures that carry fluids through organisms from the leaves of plants to our own circulatory systems, we created a simulation which uses physical growth principles to build sculptural, organic structures. Starting from an initial seed and a surface, we grow a hierarchical network where nodes constantly branch and merge. The densely interconnected structure is at once airy and strong.

Lighting Specifications
The lamp comes with an eco-friendly 3-watt 200 lumen LED light fixture with three bright Cree LED's that will last for 6 years of continuous use. It is UL-listed and works off a 120V or 240V outlet.

Please contact us at http://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/contact.php to receive the lighting components for the lamp.  We will send them to you free of charge if you purchase the lamp shade.

Phamora Ceramics!

Is inside out? Or is it not? Perhaps both?
This is an Amphora from another space-time.
An ancient object which we knew had to exist.
And after years of excavation in other dimensions we finally found it!

A very exotic vase with a unique near-impossible shape, suitable for use with dry flowers and striking enough to stand alone.
Theoretically it can also hold water in the toroidal bottom part, read practical details below.

Very suitable as a wedding gift to symbolize love and infinity.
The number eight (or sideways infinity) plays an important role in this piece,
both in the number of arms and the cross-section of this model.


Notes:
To improve print quality and after some deliberation with production, this model has been slightly updated on August 24th 2012; The arms have been thickened and the holes enlarged to improve strength and glazing.
Still I recommend not to put a lot of stress on the handles.
Refer to rendered images for the latest version. I will update photo's asap.
The bottom it stands on, is unglazed, which is invisible during normal display.
All clearly visible parts will be fully glazed, but there is a chance some parts on in the inside might not, which may compromise it's ability to hold water.
While production does their absolute best and all recent prints turned out perfectly glazed and hold water, due to the complexities involved, there is no 100% guarantee for to be absolutely watertight.

A surprising arrangement of figures to create a mathematical form.

Please note that you must order TWO SETS to create the cube – each set includes two figures and four are necessary to create this sculpture. The figures are identical and snap together tightly hands to ankles to make this striking sculpture. Mix and match colors for your own effects. Or order more than two sets to experiment with other configurations.

This model is being exhibited at the Center for Arts Gallery at Towson University, June 30-July 28, 2012.

3D fractal sculpture / L.E.D candleshade: 'Pointy Shells'. The L.E.D Candle (light source) itself is not included. Shapeways 3D prints this small lightshade designed for an L.E.D candle. Please don't use with real candles. If you would like an L.E.D candle shipped separately from unellenu please contact unellenu(at)unellenu.com (& advise your Shapeways order number for the unellenu candleshade).
