Entry DescriptionAll lamps want to be the protagonist, but few let you decide who the star of the room really is. Stairway to Heaven breaks that mold, offering a modular design with three customizable pieces.
Each module can be stacked, separated, or arranged however you like.
Whether you want a tall, bold centerpiece or soft, scattered light, the choice is yours.
Traditional lamps are static; once they’re placed in a room, they stay there, performing the same function day after day. But this lamp invites you to interact, to change, and to adapt the lighting to your needs.
Stairway to Heaven is made entirely from PLA, a non-toxic, biodegradable material derived from renewable sources.
Whether it’s your favorite book, a cherished keepsake, or a plant, Stairway to Heaven turns your personal items into the true star of the show, gently castsing light upwards, drawing attention to whatever sits atop it.
With Stairway to Heaven, the spotlight is always where you want it to be.
Sustainability ApproachAt the heart of Stairway to Heaven is the concept of the circular economy.Due to the lamp's modular design and the use of 3D printing technology.The lamp's three-piece, stackable design allows users to customize, reconfigure, and repurpose components over time, extending its life cycle. Instead of replacing the entire lamp when your style needs change, you can simply add or rearrange pieces, making the lamp adaptable and durable.
Stairway to Heaven is also made entirely from PLA (polylactic acid), a biodegradable and renewable material derived from natural resources like corn starch or sugarcane.Should a user choose to dispose of the lamp, the PLA material can easily be recicled or reused. Opting for PLA, encourages a more sustainable lifecycle for the product, minimizing its long-term impact on the environment.
