nara tahi - chiswickA bespoke luminaire inspired by turned wood.
Working with interior designers Accanto Interiors, we developed a fully bespoke pendant and wall light family for a new Thai restaurant fit-out — a form the design team couldn't find off the shelf, so we built it from scratch.
the briefA silhouette drawn from the lathe, not the mould.
Accanto Interiors envisioned a fitting with the warmth and rhythm of hand-turned timber — tapered, elegant forms with a distinct top-and-base profile. No off-the-shelf luminaire matched the vision, so LumiAdd designed and 3D printed the family entirely in-house, tuning the profile, colourway and light output specifically for the space with requested RAL colours and some unique material blends.
Repurposed materialsWaste, engineered into the finish.
The terracotta-toned body is a plant polymer blended with clay brick dust reclaimed from building waste streams, giving the warm, earthen colour the design called for without a single drop of ceramic glaze or paint. The diffuser globe follows suit — a plant polymer blended with repurposed waste scallop shells, sourced from restaurant kitchen waste, giving it a soft, warm-white glow.
