Four families of lamps, all shaped by hand in the workshop in Béziers, South of France, from the same material: recycled newspapers, plaster and a plant-based glue.
The Invider are moulded by applying the paste by hand; the Splitt and Kokiy are injected into moulds designed in the workshop; the Amba are shaped one by one over a single-use template. The technique changes each piece’s character, price and lead time.
What it is made of: papier-mâché, recycled paper, MoldingPulp. How it is made: a lamp, from ground newspaper to wax. Bespoke: a piece drawn for one place.
Family 01 — Hand-applied
Invider
Lamps with organic shapes that look alive. A family of four: Sista and Mom, the most slender, moulded from the inside; Paps and Bro, applied by hand over a male mould, with a rawer finish.
The reflector, open underneath, sends the light onto the table rather than into your eyes. From thirty to fifty centimetres, from bedside to desk.
The name comes from the English invader, with a spelling mistake kept on purpose.

Family 02 — One of a kind
Amba
The Amba, “mother” in Sanskrit, are one-of-a-kind pieces from 95 to 200 centimetres. The paste is applied by hand over a template printed for a single lamp, then removed; each diffuser is printed for its own lamp.
They are made on request, and can be made to measure: height, colour, diffuser. E27 socket, connected dimmer and bulb as an option.

Family 03 — Workshop-injected
Splitt
Two halves injected separately in a multi-part mould, then assembled: that is where the slit, and the name, come from. A twenty-five-centimetre shell, available as a pendant, a wall lamp and a portable lamp.
The workshop’s most consistent technique, for small runs, with a more industrial look than the modelled pieces.

Family 04 — Workshop-injected
Kokiy
Kokiy, “shell” in Creole, takes the spirit of the Invider into a twenty-seven-centimetre desk lamp. Its form was too complex for the hand: it is vacuum-injected, then sanded, smoothed and waxed.
