Why this design works
Intended user
Lighting and interior brands wanting a signature form at a low unit cost.
Benefits
The cast shadow pattern is the product, and it is entirely a geometry decision.
Manufacturing suitability
Single-wall spiral printing makes a large piece fast and light while giving the diffusion the design depends on.
Order this design
Option A
Order as-is
Produced exactly as designed. No engineering fee — the design work is already done, so you pay manufacturing and shipping only.
Option B
Modify this design
Change dimensions, material, branding or details. Reduced engineering fee, since we are adapting an existing design rather than starting from zero.
Option C
Create your own version
Start from your own idea in this category and go through the full design process. Standard engineering fee applies.
Every option is quoted before anything is made or charged. Pricing depends on size, material, finish and quantity.
