- This delicately ridged pendant light by Australian designer Tom Fereday and artist Susan Chen takes two and a half hours to 3D-print from one piece of extruded clay.
The lamp is made using a ceramic printer - developed by Chen during a master spent researching the possibilities for 3D-printing ceramics - that's one of only a handful of its kind in Australia.
It features a conical shade with minute furrows created as the clay is coiled on top of itself, which are emphasised when the light is turned on.
"I was struck by how elegant the fine detail and natural variation of the process is, and wanted to celebrate this through a design that would highlight and celebrate the process in its own right," Fereday told Dezeen.
"We attempted to use our experience to create a product that was driven by the process of 3D printing, and not simply made to create a shape that might otherwise be too complex to make."
