Dutch designer David Graas [4] believes that 3D printing [5] will be soon a common service in every city, with 3D printing shops on every corner. Inspired by this idea, he created Huddle, a 3D printed light fixture featuring a modern cityscape set atop an LED bulb [6]. This brilliant design avoids the need for bulky lampshades, creates zero waste during production and looks great to boot!

Although megacities has many problems, Graas believes that they “hold the key to a sustainable future with its concentration of information, technology and talent”. He showed his David Graas [4]‘ 3D-printed [7] Huddle lamp at this year’s magnificent Dutch Design Week [8] in Eindhoven, and it’s available as a pendant light or a freestanding floor lamp.
