Vittorio Paradiso designed the Haibu lamps for Paolo Castelli and these are a range of suspension lamps created using progressive 3D-printing processes. The results are refined and impressive as the lamps can be integrated into both indoor and outdoor spaces. The inspiration is drawn from a beehive, paying attention to the natural and organic structure of the natural design.
The process of the printing method uses clay as the main material and this allows for an impressive precision and uniform finish of the results. The 3D printer carefully layers the clay and in doing so, it forms a consistent texture throughout the construction. This way, each lamp is finished with a refined and flawless exterior structure with a soft illumination.
