Materials

Lampshade: PLA
Sourced from a small town in France, this filament is made by fermenting plant starch into polymerized strands of PLA. The ethereal colors are developed by combining the PLA with seashells sourced from local restaurants, which are washed and dried in a bucolic barn nestled in the Normandy countryside. Our current pigment options for the Interference pendant include Scallop Shell and Mussel Shell.

Canopy Plate: Metal

Cord Cloth Cover: Rayon

Inspiration

Born out of an appreciation for quantum mechanics, the Interference Lamp pays homage to the mind-bending reality of particle-wave dualities and their associated interference patterns. In 1804, Thomas Young pioneered the double slit experiment that revolutionized our understanding of light as a wave. In 1961, Claus Jönsson changed the world again by extending the experiment to single electrons, offering further validation to the 1924 PhD thesis of Louis de Broglie, who bravely postulated that all matter was subject to wave fields.

In a nutshell, double slit experiments create fantastical 3D patterns that communicate a fundamental truth about our universe. Our lampshades are a humble nod to the shoulders of the intellectual giants we stand on.
