The algorithm
The algorithm is written first, translating nature's own code into an object.
sin(18θ) · cos(2θ)Shaped by nature’s own algorithm
Each surface is a wave or terrain function evaluated point by point, then printed in plant-based PLA. Eleven objects, made to order in Teramo, Italy, by landscape architect Lorenzo Natali.

WHAT IS IT MADE OF?
PLA
Polylactic acid: a bioplastic of plant origin, printed at 0.12 mm per layer.
MATERIALRenewable at the source, recyclable at the end
STRENGTHSealed water-tight, stems go straight in, no insert
IMPACTFalls without shattering, where ceramic ends
03 — THE OBJECTS
The same algorithm, in light
Each shade comes out of the same process as the vessels: a landscape dynamic rewritten as rules and printed one layer at a time. Lit, that geometry stops containing and starts projecting: the lamp's own section, drawn across the room in light and shadow. The folds of PROFILUM LAMP hold the fragments picked up off the ground.

Design is not drawn. It is grown.
The generative act
The three-dimensional model is generated exactly as a generative act occurs in nature.
≈ 1.2M points
The print
FDM printing in plant-based PLA, one layer at a time, started only once you order.
0.12 mm layer
The object
Water-tight. Fresh or dried stems go in directly, with no insert.
5–10 working days
05 — THE MATERIAL
Three finishes, one bioplastic
PLA is a polymer made from plant biomass: cornstarch and sugarcane processed into the raw material for printing. In everyday use it behaves as a rigid, durable bioplastic, suited to any interior space. It decomposes in industrial composting without leaving toxic residue.
