How a Torn Lampshade Started a Design Company
From a broken lamp to 50,000 sold: here's how our flagship product came to be.
It started with a broken Akari lamp during COVID lockdown – Our founder was stuck at home during online design school (which, let's be honest, wasn't great) and decided to design a new shade for the broken base.
50+ iterations later, the first Wavy Lamp was born – What started as a quarantine project became proof that 3D printing could create beautiful, unique lighting.
5 friends bought the first batch – Posted on Instagram on a whim, and people we knew actually wanted one.
Then strangers started ordering – Turns out people beyond our circle were interested too, and suddenly a small apartment couldn't keep up with demand.
Now we've made over 50,000 lamps – the Wavy Lamp remains one of our bestsellers even 5 years, 50 products, and 2 studios later.
