The Farolito Light from Wooj captures warmth reminiscent of ancestral gatherings around fire, inspired by traditional New Mexico farolitos. Its design translates delicate paper lantern aesthetics into a durable, 3D-printed bioplastic form. Utilizing additive manufacturing, Wooj replicates intricate paper-like vertices while ensuring sturdiness and security in the final product. The lamp's initial design borrows from a brown paper bag, enhanced with simulated folds. Wooj aims to democratize design and produce sustainable, exciting products in Brooklyn, led by Sean Kim, fostering growth opportunities for all involved in the creation process.
Warm light is immediately calming to the system, a flickering facsimile of our ancestors gathering around fire. The Farolito Light from Wooj captures this indelible warmth within delicate paper-like form, taking inspiration from the paper lanterns or farolitos of New Mexico.
Wooj utilizes additive manufacturing to replicate the unique and detailed vertices usually only found in paper - only this version is far less fragile. The Farolito Light stands proudly, light filling the diffuser.
Wooj creates fun, enduring design - things that make the world a more interesting place to live in. Printed in Brooklyn, they are drawn to forms that would be incredibly time consuming or complex to create using traditional methods.
Led by founder and designer Sean Kim, the combination of good design and sustainable, ethical manufacturing in one of the most expensive cities in the world is not only possible, but probable, creating more opportunities for growth for the designer, producer, and consumer.
