My 3D-printed ceramic lamps combine digital precision with an organic character. Each piece is unique, shaped by subtle variations in the process. The work explores the meeting of technology and clay, where control and imperfection coexist in expressive objects.

Digital Craft

This project presents a series of 3D-printed ceramic lamps, fully designed, developed, and produced by myself. The collection consists of a pendant lamp and a tripod floor lamp, both shaped by digital precision, yet rich in natural, organic character.

At the heart of this work lies a contrast: the use of a high-tech, industrial process to create objects that feel handmade and tactile. The ceramic 3D printer, typically associated with clean lines and repetition, is pushed here to produce forms that are soft, irregular, and quietly expressive.

Each lamp is one of a kind. Subtle variations in the printing process result in unique bulges, shifts, and surface textures. no two pieces are exactly alike. This unpredictability gives the objects their character and emphasizes the natural qualities of the clay, even within a digital method.

This project explores how digital fabrication can be used not to erase the human touch, but to reinterpret it. It is about the meeting point of technology and materiality. where control and imperfection coexist, and where ceramics take on new life in the context of contemporary lighting design.

About

I am an independent designer working at the intersection of digital fabrication and traditional craftsmanship. My practice explores how 3D printing in clay can create unique, tactile objects that enhance contemporary living environments and rethink the role of technology in craft.
