Mickus Projects, a design studio, has created a 3D-printed bioplastic chandelier inspired by the work of Danish midcentury designer Poul Henningsen. The Hedron Pendant features a translucent lampshade with a hexagonal pattern, wrapped around a stem with an LED light source. The lampshade is made from 100% corn- and sugar-derived polylactic acid, a lightweight and biodegradable bioplastic. The design takes cues from Henningsen’s work on glare-free shaded lamps and combines it with a parametric design process and a focus on renewable materials. The result is a lampshade that emits soft light and uses the least amount of material to create a rigid yet intriguing form. The chandelier is suitable for indoor and outdoor installation and comes in a range of sizes and price points. The design also draws inspiration from forms found in nature, such as honeycomb, turtle shells, and multifaceted insect eyes.
Mickus Projects debuts the Hedron Pendant, a stunning chandelier crafted from eco-friendly bioplastics.
