Gantri’s 3D-printed Sopp Table Lamp visually explores the idea of ‘Less Is More’

Looking quite like some Zaha Hadid-inspired architecture on your table, the Sopp table lamp by Max Voytenko for Gantri uses Gestalt’s visual laws to look like it has mass, while the lamp itself is made from what seems like entirely crisscrossing 2-dimensional surfaces. The Sopp is a paradoxical masterpiece, inspired by seemingly opposing disciplines: natural forms and modern architecture”, Voytenko writes. “Who knew minimalism could be so mesmerizing?”

Designer: Max Voytenko for Gantri

Kyiv-based Voytenko’s design philosophy of ‘less is more’ shines through wonderfully with Sopp. There’s no voluminous mass to the lampshade. It’s entirely lattice-based, but still has its own 3D mass shining through the twelve 2D planes that intersect each other. The abstract parachute-shaped design rests on a flat base, which houses the lamp’s internal LED light along with its electronics. Both the lamp and base are 3D printed at Gantri’s San Francisco factory using their proprietary Gantri Plant Polymer, a special bio-based material that has a signature matte finish that gives each Gantri lamp a premium appeal.

A lamp with counterweight that could be an art installation

We love it when a domestic, functional product boarders on becoming a sculptural piece of art that’s on display within the home. This is precisely the case with the Node Lamp, which carries an intriguing and alluring aesthetic that grabs the attention of passers-by, without compromising on its core functionality.

Designed for use on a desk, Node features a rigorous design that floods the workspace with light; it can be manipulated in a series of directions so the light can be targeted exactly where you desire, whilst the intensity of the light is altered by rotating the head. This is a beautiful addition to the lamp.

Node’s body is constructed from an aluminum tube, which has been paired with cast iron rod that acts as a counterweight. This incredible, sculpture-like desk lamp is certainly a beautiful alternative to the humble desk lamp!

Minimal Tables that Curve like Paper

This series of stunning tables are the creation of designer, Max Voytenko, and we just had to talk about them! Inspired by the bending of sheet of paper, the tops of FOLD TABLES drop away in a smooth and linear fashion to seamlessly create shelves and cubbyholes!

The fluidity of the form and the elegant curves of the 3mm, painted steel sheet is held within the contrastingly solid construction of the frame of the table, creating a visually engaging juxtaposition within the design. Displayed in two, equally toned-down colors, it’s fair to say that the design must do the talking… and it most certainly does! There is just something so beautiful about the flowing, uniform curves that provide a depth to the table, that we can’t get enough of!
