The New Lily Lamp by Maju Creates a New Future for Lighting

The Lily Lamp by Maju, 3D printed with plant-based, biodegradable materials, centers around the versatility of a core object: the light. The shade is printed without support material, saving 50% more energy per print. As an additive process, there is minimal waste in production compared to traditional manufacturing. Just as comfortable on a wall or ceiling as on a table, the Lily Lamp is designed for ultimate functionality, allowing different bases and shades to be added indefinitely.Support material is the only additional waste generated in 3D printing, allowing the set geometry to form correctly as the printer wends its way around its path. This allows printing to give us any shape in any material, usually an incredibly costly process for machined items. While hyper-technical pieces must still be made traditionally, 3D printing has opened a whole new paradigm of recently impossible vertices. Maju employs this technology in a novel way, without any need for support material. This decreases overall print time, which uses less energy, and also skips the finishing process, which is sometimes a chemically-intensive process where pieces must be dipped into baths, creating a glossy shine. Instead, these pieces retain their original satin finish, a slight shine allowing the base to softly reflect the light coming from above.The first of its kind to feature multi-modal and modular design, the base of the Lily Light can be extended, using separate pieces that attach simply to the base to lift the shade. The opacity of the shade allows just enough light to get through as to create a warm glow, adding ambiance with a modern twist. As a table lamp, the cord neatly wraps around an inner channel in the center, ensuring the lamp is safe for all types of humans, big or small.Utilizing different filaments creates a multitude of shade opacities and qualities, which can be customized by special request. We grow with the light, using just the hardware to delineate what the lamp is while changing out perhaps both base and shade, a mini ship of Theseus. All this with minimal environmental impact which would you choose first?Maju is a 3D-printed lighting company changing the way we see lighting. Fluid, ephemeral, and elegant, the pieces Maju offer are interchangeable, replaceable, and upgradeable shades. The shades incorporate biomimetic design, utilizing the original designer, nature, to define their constraints. The Lily Omni and the Lily Grande are available on Majus website, and we look forward to seeing what theyll do next.The Lily Omni is available for purchase on Majus website at maju.design.
