Janne Kyttanen’s 3D Printed Lily Lamp Turns 15, See How It All Began 3D Printing Processes

by Consumer

Designer Janne Kyttanen recently collaborated with online magazine Dezeen for an exclusive movie about his famous Lily Lamp. In the movie he explains how he designed the flower-shaped ´Lily´ lamp back in 2002 (almost 15 years ago now – time flies when you 3D print) as a demo of how 3D printing could be used. If you fast forward 16 years and look where we are today, 3D printing is pretty much common place.
