Gantri, the 3D-printed on-demand lighting brand, welcomes the summer season with a quartet of whimsically imagined lamps for their third edition of the Independent Creator Release. (See first edition here) The playfully vibrant 2023 Summer collection glows with optimism inspired by the colors of summer and the season’s sociable warm evenings, represented by five new lights designed by four emerging, international designers.
Field Trip Table Light by Joey Zeledón: A portable task light incorporating a sleek caddy in its base to transform any corner of the home into a space for learning. Zeledón designed the light in response to the difficulties many encountered during the pandemic in attempting to establish a working space in any available corner of their homes. The empathetic spirit of the design should be no surprise considering the designer is also the author of Touchy/Feely, a book about emotional ergonomics.
Field Trip Table Light is available in three vibrant colorways: Sunrise (yellow), Sage (green), and Blossom (pink). It retails for $248.
Figra Table and Wall Lights by Simon Schmitz: Figra presents a juxtaposition of forms, a sculptural balance act between a cylindrical shade intersecting with a sizable block base. The unconventional geometry lends both a visual heft and a literal stable base.
The Figra Table Light (top) and Figra Wall Light (bottom) are both available in three colorways: Fog (light gray), Canyon (burnt red), and Midnight (deep blue); the Wall Light retails for $248 and Table Light retails for $198.
Macaron Table Light by Romulo Temigue: Taking its form from that most beloved of Parisian treats, Brazilian designer Romulo Temigue’s Macaron looks every bit its tasty namesake. The sandwiched 360º diffuser glows with an ambient luminescence that we imagine would work its glowing best set upon a side table or bedside as the last light you turn off before inviting sleep.
Macaron Table Light is available in three colorways Sunset (yellow), Forest (dark green), and Stone (light gray). It retails for $248.
Squish Table Light by BEBOP: Just as it may take a village to raise a child, so too did the collective talents of designers spanning Seoul and San Francisco come together to develop the softly tactile reinterpretation of the light as an amorphous silhouette – a primordial oversized light bulb imagined to glow warmly in a corner of a nightstand or small apartment home office.
Squish Table Light is available in one classic colorway, Sand (white), and retails for $198.
Gantri Founder & CEO, Ian Yang describes the whimsical collection as lights imagined to illuminate spirits as effectively as the spaces in which they’ll eventually come to occupy. “These designs [are] about brightening lives, sparking conversations, and encouraging a more thoughtful way of living.”
