Foundational Reflections

Debut Trilogy

Beyond Bounds steps onto the DDW stage with its first public showcase. The debut trilogy ‘Foundational Reflections’ distils three archetypal gestures into light: the tectonic disc TERRA, the rolling wave NOVA ONDA developed with Paris-based designer Abraham Muller, and the modular beacon SIGNAL created with L.A. light artist Christopher Merchant. 3D-printing frees us from moulds and stock. Each lamp begins as a concept, formed into code, is printed only when ordered and ships straight from our studio. We're delivering designer lighting tailored to every interior without inventory, pollution or middlemen.

Circular Craft

Every piece is printed in Amsterdam from a high-grade PLA biopolymer blended with recycled wood fibres and PET-G recovered from drinks bottles. The composite is lightweight and can be re-granulated in our own studio. Worn shells can be returned to us for shredding and re-extrusion. An NFC tag embedded in each base links to a digital passport recording material origin, print parameters and a unique ID, so every lamp carries a verifiable identity and owners become stewards, not just consumers.

Immersive Booth

Inside a compact 8 m² booth at Sectie-C we fuse our living room and a gallery. Three plinths spotlight the lamps while a vertical screen loops time-lapse footage of the printing process. Visitors handle raw pellets, scan the NFC tag, select custom colours and watch molten lines build a shade live. After DDW all booth elements and print waste return to our studio for reuse, closing the loop once more.
