Four families of lamps, all shaped by hand in Béziers from the same material: recycled newspapers, plaster and a plant-based glue.
The Invider are built 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
Papier Mâché Bedside Lamps
Bedside lamps in recycled papier mâché, shaped one at a time in the Béziers workshop. The material — reclaimed newspaper, plaster and plant-based binder — gives a warm, glare-free light that glass and metal cannot.

Sculptural Floor Lamps
From ninety-five to two hundred centimetres, one-of-a-kind pieces shaped by hand in Béziers. Paper at this scale surprises: the mass is there, the weight is not. Each piece is built to order and never repeats.

Family 08 — Hand-applied
Invider
Arched lamps on a single foot that look alive. A family of four: Sista and Mom, the most slender, moulded from the inside; Paps and Bro, built up from the outside over a frame, with a rawer finish.
The shell, 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 09 — 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 10 — 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 11 — 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.
