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.

You can imagine this 3D form as afterimage of one single point in space as it moves, self-intersecting and rotating around, creating this 3D object. Whole shade form is actually one single line... wrapping around itself. Whole 3d printed light shade is created in one piece.
This lamp is available for purchase now on Shapeways. What you will get from Shapeways is 3D printed lamp shade only.
NOTE: Lamp base will be sent separately. Use "contact designer" button on upper right of this page... or send us e-mail to > info (at) alienology.com
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.
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

This lamp "Labyrinth" is made in 2 parts .... underneath where you installed the socket (E14), the bulb is an LED bulb. The ball is slightly flattened below for more stability.I put brackets with screws so that both parties are interdependent.
Once the wire connected, nothing easier than to use the labyrinth to block it!
This lamp can also be installed on the ceiling!
interested by the lamp but prefer to receive the full version with the led bulb? let see my web site,

The Lichenfan light shade is pictured 3D printed in Shapeways 'sandstone' material, a very rigid, hard material that feels like sandstone. It is pictured here as a lamp shade.
This is Part A (the main part) and Part B of the lamp can be separately purchased 3D printed from Shapeways.
The lamp base, electricals and light fittings are not included. The lamp base pictured is 'Hemma' from IKEA. Alternatively just use the lamp shade with an L.E.D candle (battery powered 'candle'). See photographs of the light shade with an L.E.D candle.
Care instructions:The material is brittle if dropped on hard surfaces, so handle it as you would a precious ceramic object. SAFETY NOTE: Not suitable for use with real candles.
An organic-looking, sculptural fractal light shade, to add fascinating illumination to your room. This sculptural form is constructed using 3D printing. This technology can achieve intricate details and complex undercuts that could not be created using traditional manufacturing processes.

To build a suspended lamp light bulb and socket has to be inserted trough a hole. Adapter ring for E27 bulb socket serves as fitting.
To build a table lamp take use of Starfish lamp stand with adapter ring.
This video shows how to assembly the light source.
The seed lamp plays with reaction-diffusion at different scales to produce an organic effect. A simple sphere grows into a complex sculpted surface by layering reaction patterns at a micro and macro scale. The larger scale pattern creates the overall topography of the lamp while the smaller scale modulates the surface thickness to reveal a cellular texture when lit.
For this lamp, the patterns at both scales are cellular, however the surface is punctured only according to the disposition of the smaller scale. We were inspired by microscopic images of seeds where both the overall shape of the seed and the cells of which it is composed are visible.

As startup-costs are half the price on this one, bulk is recommended, please contact me with the shape and amount required.
let see other led candle holder on my web site:

Directions for assembly:
When you look at the housing where the coin battery slips in, you will notice that there are three supports that define this space. Two look the same, and one looks a little different. Let's call the one that looks different the "back support".
Get yourself an a standard 5mm LED. Any colour is good - your choice. For the brightest, I would recommend a super bright white or an ultra bright white. But for fun, know that blue and green LED's look very nice with the moon shade if you have bought it also :) Notice that one of the wires coming from the LED is longer. This is the "positive" wire.
Insert the wires of the LED down through the top hole in the candelabra, and wrap the "positive" wire around the "back support" taking care that it is placed so that it will only touch the battery at this place and no other.
Bend the other wire in a such a way that it will touch only the topside of the battery.
Get yourself a 2cm diameter, 3 volt coin battery. The ones I use are described by this code: CR2025. Insert this battery, negative side up, into the LED Candelabra housing.
Your Candelabra should immediately turn on nicely! Note that you can slide the battery slightly away from the back support and this will turn the light out.
If you have purchased the shade, this is very easy to twist on. Simply drop the shade down allowing its slots to slide over the three housing supports. Then twist the shade to secure it fits tightly.
Enjoy!

These tea-light holders are extremely versatile. You can use them alone, but there something even more exciting you can do:
You can add a customizable paper lantern "hood"! Use any kind of paper you like. There is lots of patterned paper on the market. Whystler will also be publishing PDF files that you can download and print yourself, as well as an Inkscape template so you can design and print your own!
This item is a perfect way you can add your own creativity to your surroundings. Imagine a color scheme to match your decor... or your own motivational words. Special magical symbols written to enhance your mood perhaps? It's all up to you and where you draw your inspiration.
You can even paint these with sharpy markers... black .. pink .. gold ... silver ... what else? You decide.
**A Word About Wedding Use*** Several things make these holders suitable for weddings:
-great price for 3, so you can decorate all of your reception tables.
-Verstile design allows you to add personal shades that match your wedding colour scheme, and also theme. For example, if you have a daisy wedding, put daisies on the shade! Put names on the shades and you have an instant romantically lit place holder at the table.
-When things get crazy at the wedding reception, these little beauties in WSF are durable. They bounce.
-Fits nicely into a purse or coat pocket to take home as favours.
WARNING: Use of real candles is not recommended. They may get too hot for the paper or the plastic holder. Instead, use the handy dandy electrical tea-lights available at your dollar store.

This object is artwork inspired by the fan art mentioned above and in no way affiliated with any specific company, product or person.
Two identical Pieces make one new amazing lampShade.
The two parts of this innovative lighting system interlock to form one lampshade around the cable of an existing hanging light fixture. The locking mechanism was inspired by a Bikini Clip that is as easily opened and closed.
Lending itself well to bespoke customer alterations, Two Piece Shade can comprise personal messages or patterns to make it entirely unique and special. The translucent properties of Shapeway’s WSF make it the ideal material to generate interesting shadows and only reveal the inside when the light is lit. It’s further advantage of adding color opens up the possibility of mix-and-matching these interchangeable parts to your personal taste.
The final size of the overall lampshade is H22cm x W12.4cm x D12.4cm
Please note that you need to order 2 pieces of this design in order to purchase one whole lampshade. These can however be different colours just as you like it.
Further interior patterns and designs will follow. But until then feel free to get in touch if you have any ideas/thoughts/wishes that you would like to see developed into a Two Piece Part.
