// DAY 16/30 - COLOUR / LIGHT / FORM.

I'm so excited to finally share a first look at the two lamps joining the Tillo shop when it relaunches next week!

Meet Bikube 2.0 and Trikube. Two sculptural lamps, designed to play with light, colour and texture, in the form of a table lamp or hanging pendant.

Colour your lamp to match your mood.

Both lamps will be available in three colourways. Shown here are the Clear versions of Bikube 2.0 and Trikube.

These translucent lampshades look beautiful with a simple warm white light, revealing the intricate layers and internal structures of the 3D printed form.

BUT add a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-enabled smart bulb and you can transform them entirely! From a cosy evening glow to vibrant, saturated colours, all controlled from your phone.

One lamp. Endless vibesss. 🪩

Both are 3D printed using PLA, a plant-derived, biodegradable bioplastic made from renewable resources such as corn starch.

And there's more...

Tomorrow I'll be launching a giveaway to win your very own Trikube lamp, in your choice of Yellow, Purple or Clear!

Tillo Design officially relaunches on its 7th birthday, 10.11.26. 🎂

Which colour combination is your favourite?

// DAY 14/30 - MATERIAL FLUX.

A few more glimpses from Material Flux - a project exploring how discarded timber offcuts can be reimagined through digital scanning and 3D printing.

These pieces began as overlooked fragments of wood, each with its own irregular form, texture and story. By 3D scanning them and modelling bespoke printed components to “repair” or complete them, I wanted to explore new relationships between waste materials and digital fabrication.

I loved photographing these odd little artefacts! I went hard on the gritty texture and used the colour-changing bulb from the new Trikube lamp to cast saturated colours across the studio. A little neo-noire-esque eh?

Projects like this continue to shape how I think about materials, form and light - and are already inspiring ideas for future lighting designs. 👀

Old materials. New possibilities.

// DAY 13/30 - MATERIAL COMPOSITIONS. 🌀

A little Sunday afternoon exercise in colour, texture and composition.

Testing out combinations of materials, exploring the unexpected relationships between wood, light, found objects and collected curiosities.

I'm trying to make time in my routine for flow-state, creative work, with no intentional measured outcome. It feels so good! You'll see some elements show through in my new collection dropping soon...

Which composition is your favourite? (1–5) 🧲

// DAY 11/30 - ANATOMY OF A 3D PRINT. 🔬

A little look beneath the surface of Tillo's 3D printed lampshades!

From the first digital model in Rhino to the final printed object, there's a whole lot of design thinking going on behind the scenes.

One of my favourite things about 3D printing is how much control it gives you over the internal structure of an object. In these lampshades, the infill isn't just there for structural support. It's an intentional part of the design, creating patterns, textures and interesting ways for light to pass through the material.

Printed in clear PLA, each layer adds to the character of the finished piece.

Craft x technology. 💡

And the best bit? Wait until you see what happens when we switch the light on... 👀

New collection launching 10.11.26!

// hey, i'm back again 👋 kicking things off with some final drawings produced as part of my research project, titled 'material flux: narratives and interfaces of timber waste offcuts' 💻

// the fractured, splintered and eroded edges were explored as three distinct edge conditions of the waste timber offcuts, testing the physical/digital interface technique across the varied surfaces 🪵

// re-stock // i’ve got 3 of these handmade concrete + soy wax candles left from my last batch!! 🔥 this is the last of my stock and i’m unlikely to make more anytime soon, so let me know if you’re after one, just send me a dm or use the link in bio to take you to the online shop :))
