In Denmark, design studio Mickus Projects has created a 3D-printed honeycomb-shaped bioplastic chandelier.
Known as the Hedron Pendant, the chandelier “features a bulbous but subtly striated lampshade finished in an intricate hexagonal pattern, which wraps a stem with a delicate but illuminating LED light source,” according to design publication dezeen.
Hedron Pendant is 3D printed using polylactic acid, which is produced from sugar. “[T]he 3D-printing approach to fabrication does not involve any cutting or glueing, and does not produce any waste,” Ben Mickus, founder of Michus Projects, said. “The lampshade uses the least amount of material to create a rigid yet intriguing form.”
