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.

Using 30 standard-sized pencils, and this kit, you can create an icosahedron-shaped object of about 38 cm or 15 inch in diameter. Use it as a cool lampshade, or just as fun and educational object to have around.
Fits standard hexagonal (colour) pencils of about 7.0 mm cross section - measured at the smallest diameter. Any length of the pencils will work, as long as they're all the same.
If you are new to the Shapeways website: to order you will be asked to create an account (it's easy).

Please note that the available colours are subject to what Shapeways offers, and may be different from those shown in the images here. Please refer to the support section for available colors. Assembly may leave slight indents on pencils.

Clothoid.A lamp is created by a mathematical curve formula and then that spline is lofted in 3d CAD software. Resulting form is parametric and adjustable in almost infinite number of combinations.

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

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.

A light shade for LED tea-light or Luxeon/Cree LED
Hiding the source from direct view, resulting in a gentle light emerging

Limited edition
This is the original design, at nearly 20cm high, with 2mm thick walls it is costly to produce.
To compensate, only ten will be produced, currently only six are still available

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).

This shade can be clicked directly on to a fluorescent light tube. The variation in thickness makes for a nice translucent effect. Inspiration for this design came from phototaxis: the attraction to light that insects such as moths have. That, and the observation that the boring 'bare' light tube in my girlfriend's kitchen could use a touch of creativity.

This version is fit for T8-tubes (1" in diameter). More versions, including other butterflies will follow.

50 ex limited edition, for each edition I change the file to change the number

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,
