Presale: The Pleat Lamp
This is a presale order! Orders will ship in mid-July in the order they were received.
Few things are as intimate to humans as the clothes that we wear. The textiles that make contact with our skin. Our clothing, and their very fabric help us define ourselves, our personalities, and the image we wish to present to the world.
Textiles have personalities, their own tendencies and quirks. They have the ability to move and to capture our movements and the movement of the world around them.
Imagine:
Sun streaming through breeze-swayed garments on a clothesline; the graceful gesture of a dancer’s skirt as they twirl; the transformative effect of wearing a beautiful garment.
These are the ephemeral moments Wooj sought to capture with the design of their Pleat Lamp. A playful take on the classic table lamp silhouette, the lamp captures the dynamic and elegant flow of a pleated skirt in motion and the delicate transmission of light through silk curtains on a breezy morning.
The Pleat Lamp is the result of a blend of methodical programming and cheerfully flippant serendipity — exposing Wooj’s computationally derived designs to physical chance and happy accident — to yield a result which feels at once refined and whimsical.
These lamps are the first in the Pleat series, Wooj’s fourth collection since their founding last year. Like the rest of Wooj’s catalog, these lamps are made from predominantly recycled materials (in this case, post-industrial polyethelene from the medical industry) and are 3D printed, assembled, and shipped from Wooj’s Brooklyn Studio.

Built Layer By Layer
Instead of using traditional manufacturing methods where material is subtracted in order to create an object, we make use of 3d printing using biologically derived materials to make our lamps. 3d printing is additive — that means material is added layer by layer to build the final object. No additional material is wasted in the process. It’s only a small step in trying to make our work as sustainable as possible
Made From Corn
We are proud to be making use of PLA, a corn based bio-plastic in our lamps. PLA constitutes the entirety of the lamp shade and the bulk of the base, and eventually can be composted.
