CS.01 – Arcas
A new era for our favorite lamp.
CS.01 – Arcas makes use of 3D printing, custom-written code, and a careful eye on design to produce a unique and delightful object weaving together art and science.
The lamp mesmerizes with its unique ability to appear both solid and translucent; the bulb fades in and out of view depending on where you’re standing and give it a surreal charm. We’re so excited more people will now be able to enjoy the Arcas Lamp.

So happy I ran across this lamp. It’s just perfect for my somatic studio and didn’t break the bank!
It’s really gorgeous and emits the coziest vibes!!
I'm a bit disappointed with Arcas. It looked super cool in the product shots, but the assembly feels wobbly and unstable. I also had a very hard time assembling it since the pieces fit very loosely and don't secure, forcing you to hold several pieces together at once. I have some minor motor issues with my hands, and even I struggled, so I can't imagine what it must me like for someone who has even more motor issues.
Update: I will say that Wooj responded and revamped the assembly video for this, which is incredible. I still think that CS.01 Arcas is a cool looking lamp but the assembly is a little wobbly and wonky. However, the new instruction video is much much much more accessible with specific mentions of the names of pieces, so I'm updating my review to reflect that!
On top of that, the assembly instructions are not even CLOSE to being accessible. They assume you have the ability to watch a video and assemble based on sight alone. The narrator never calls any piece by name, only ever saying "this piece" or "like this" instead of saying "the legs" or "the retaining ring" or "until secure". This creates a problem for visually impaired folks, since they can't use an accessibility tool (a screen reader could read out written instructions, for instance), and they can't rely on the description alone. Hearing impaired folks might also have a hard time, since any generated captions wouldn't be very descriptive based on the narrators lack of detail.
I would really like to see some improved accessibility in both the product itself and the associated instructions.
Hi Keelan,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for the detailed feedback.
We have already reached out directly to offer further support, and we’re currently working on clearer, more accessible assembly guides, which will be live within the next two weeks if not sooner.
We are grateful you took the time to share it!
Cute design, flimsy build. The legs are very loose and the top piece that holds it all together isn’t strong.
Love the CS.01 Arcas so much. It’s beautiful on my bedroom dresser. I assembled it carefully because it seems a bit delicate but I think it’s pretty durable for what it is. Only thing is that I wish I could use a dimmable smart bulb like a Phillips Hue. I plugged it into a Phillips smart outlet for now.
Very good looking lamp, was bigger than I expected from the images. Luckily I found a YouTube video showing the assembly so that was easy. This lamp may not be for you though if you like things standardized and free of minor inconsistencies. Keep in mind it is 3-D printed so some spots and lines may look inconsistent (as well as light shining through the shade) from the rest of the lamp. I was hesitant to keep it but it’s just too good looking to get rid of.
