3D-printing design studio Nervous System just unveiled a stunning series of digitally printed lamps at this year’s International Contemporary Furniture Fair that are inspired by the beautiful branching patterns of veins in leaves. Befitting the biomimetic design, the lamps are dubbed Hyphae. The delicately formed lamps perfectly balance high-tech manufacturing techniques with natural forms, and their green credentials go beyond biomimicry and zero-waste manufacturing – each lamp is fitted with an energy-efficient 3 watt LED bulb, for ambient illumination with very little energy use.
