Artist Statement:

The Omi.MGX lamp is part of the Materialise.MGX design collection. The lamp, a single 3D-printed nylon object, is one of the first products to be produced and distributed directly from a selective laser-sintering machine. Its form, together with the natural flexibility of the polyamide, creates the impression of a biological mechanism. The versatile shape can be transformed, personalized, and manipulated to create different sculptural sensations, spaces, and moods.
