Printz rethinks what a shaded luminaire can be. Through large-format advanced additive manufacturing, each 3d printed form is produced with precision and efficiency, allowing geometry, texture, and scale to work together in ways traditional fabrication cannot easily achieve. Rather than applying decoration to light, Printz uses form to shape space. Its sculptural profiles bring visual depth to open interiors, creating moments of presence in workplaces, hospitality environments, higher education, and civic spaces. From afar, the silhouettes read bold and architectural. Up close, the layered surface subtly expresses the 3D printing process itself. Additive manufacturing enables material efficiency and reduced waste compared to subtractive methods. Each shade is produced as needed, minimizing excess material and supporting a more responsible approach to large-scale design. The result is a product that feels progressive not only in form, but in how it is made. Printz is engineered for specification-grade performance. It delivers controlled illumination, visual comfort, and serviceability within a form designed to scale confidently across applications. It is lighting that embraces volume and presence while remaining disciplined, repeatable, and ready for real-world projects.

Three sculptural forms, built through additive manufacturing, share a unified performance platform while offering distinct visual identities. From bold focal points to composed installations, Printz delivers expressive geometry with consistent illumination. Explore the family below to select the form that aligns with your design intent. Ola Ola is defined by a sweeping, fluid silhouette that evokes the natural motion of waves. Its curved profile introduces softness and movement, allowing light to flow gracefully across its surface with subtle texture and depth. Rich in presence, Ola balances organic inspiration with architectural discipline. The name, meaning “wave” in Spanish and Portuguese, reflects its rhythmic contours and dynamic energy. Ola brings calm, elegance, and natural flow to contemporary spaces. Cosma Cosma features a smooth, rounded profile with a gentle taper that recalls classic mid-century modern forms. Its low, horizontal silhouette brings graphic clarity and balanced proportion to open interiors. The regressed light source delivers controlled downward illumination, allowing the sculptural shade to define presence without visual glare. Inspired by the cosmos, the name reflects its expansive feel and disciplined geometry. Cosma pairs mid-mod influence with contemporary performance, making it ideal for spaces that value both character and architectural restraint. Hela Hela presents a smooth, rounded silhouette that conveys quiet confidence and balance. Its gently flared form recalls a classic bell or bowl, creating a timeless profile that feels both familiar and refined. The curvature supports soft diffusion and visual warmth, making Hela well suited for spaces that call for subtle sophistication. Clean lines and sculptural restraint allow it to integrate seamlessly into both modern and transitional interiors. ADVANCED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING IN ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING Printz is enabled by large-format additive manufacturing, allowing complex architectural forms to be built directly from a digital model. Instead of relying on molds, stamping, or multi-part assemblies, each shade is produced as a cohesive structure with precision, repeatability, and refined surface detail. 3D printing enables geometries that traditional fabrication methods cannot easily achieve, including continuous compound curves, integrated structural transitions, and sculptural forms that would otherwise require extensive tooling or multi-part construction. The result is a shade that feels intentional from every angle. Surface texture becomes part of the design language. Geometry is developed digitally, refined deliberately, and produced on demand with consistency across projects. Material efficiency is inherent to the process. Printz shades are produced using high-performance PETG with significant post-industrial recycled content, supporting responsible material use while maintaining durability and structural integrity. This is not a novelty technique or a cheap trick. It is an innovative, yet disciplined manufacturing strategy that allows Printz to be expressive in form while remaining specification-ready in performance. Architectural in presence. Progressive in how it is made. Built for real spaces at real scale.

Handcrafted ceramic and wood shades bring natural beauty to modern spaces Eureka has announced the launch of Torno, a luminaire that combines natural materials with artisanal craftsmanship. Torno features circular, flat shades measuring 14 inches in diameter and 2.6 inches high. Each shade is partially handcrafted and offered in three ceramic finishes—Ivory White, Coal Black, and Terracotta Brown—and two locally sourced wood finishes, maple and oak. Because each shade is made with natural materials and refined by hand, subtle variations make every piece unique. Designers can select surface mount, stem mount, or suspended configurations. The suspended option allows two or three shades of the same finish to be stacked for a striking visual effect. Torno delivers up to 750 lumens of low-glare light. The same light source creates a reflected uplight, which forms a subtle halo accent around the fixture when surface mounted.
