ITS ECO-VIRTUES
Its 3D printing
We produce Originale.gcode in 3D printing. This process does not generate any loss of material and even if we take the greatest care to make our production reliable, 3D printers are demanding beings with unpredictable moods. Thus, any offcuts due to a printing failure are collected to be recycled or reused in 3D printing, after being crushed, remelted and re-extruded into filament. Filament is the essential format to feed the machine.
We'll even tell you a secret: filament spools are sold commercially in standard formats (750g, 1kg, 2.5kg, 5kg or 8kg...). Since it takes 340g of material to print a transparent lamp body, we asked our filament supplier to produce spools in a custom format to have as little PLA waste as possible at the end of the spool. Isn't life beautiful? 8)
Its PLA, this brilliant material
3D printing also allows the use of an eco-responsible material, PLA, a bio-sourced "plastic" produced from corn starch. It is free of any trace of hydrocarbons. It is the same material as some food packaging. It is sufficiently resistant to bending and can even withstand a reasonable fall. It does not yellow over time. However, it should not be exposed to excessive heat (>45°C).
Its recycling
The eco-responsible aspect is important to us: if unfortunately your lamp has tried to take flight without spreading its wings, we invite you to return the complete lamp to us to be recycled. Once received, it will be added to our collection of scraps and you will have a 15% discount on a future purchase.
"Indeed, plastic waste recycling channels make it difficult to differentiate PLA from other plastic materials, in particular PET, polyethylene terephthalate, and the contamination of these materials by PLA compromises their recycling."

ITS DESIGN
Its shape
We have taken the most common form of a table lamp: a revolution (in the geometric sense!) with a base and a lampshade. Here, the function of the lampshade is diverted to let the flow of light pass through and not to redirect or stop it. But the interior diffuser is responsible for filtering and homogenizing the light to provide warmth to your interior.
Its proportions
The proportions have been studied for a long time. The external curves are apparently simple so as not to distract attention from the exceptional reflections and to ensure a good grip of the lamp.
Its streaks
The light/color/transparency triptych is absolutely crucial in our stylistic approach. We wanted to take advantage of the streaks offered by the successive layers of 3D printing called "thread deposition". You will never tire of watching the light dance in the lines of the body of Originale.gcode.
Its label
You will also find the famous label, firmly attached to the lampshade. An identifying detail of our brand and this first model, it is also 3D printed with the same material.
Its weight and height
Despite a weight that one would imagine more substantial to grip, we have chosen not to ballast the object: lightness is inherent to this material and to the 3D printing manufacturing process. But rest assured, 540g for a 27cm lamp is quite enough, we promise.
With its 27cm height and 21cm diameter, its size will ensure it does not go unnoticed.

ITS MANUFACTURE
You will have in your hands a product imagined from the first drawing to be completely printed in 3D and assembled in our workshop near Nantes. Each lamp is printed to order using only the necessary material, nothing more. Contact us if you want to come to the workshop to discover the production!
The hardest part is choosing which room I'm going to put it in.
ITS USE
Originale.gcode was designed for a bulb (LED only) with a light output of between 400 and 500Lm (Lumen). This makes it ideal as a bedside lamp or as a mood/side lamp in any room of the house. The bulb is included but you will have to choose between a warm light or a neutral light approaching daylight.
