Gantri's 3D-Printed Lamps Are Going Wireless

Gantri, a San Francisco company making soft, stylized 3D-printed lamps, is launching wireless lighting through a partnership with Ammunition. Lamps are 3D-printed in the Bay Area using corn-based polylactic acid (PLA) plastics. The product line includes floor lamps, table lamps, and smaller rectangular lamps inspired by San Francisco piers. All lamps are wireless and can be removed from charging ports to run for 10 or more hours. Gantri is developing an app for control and plans compatibility with Matter, with support expected the following year. Gantri previously introduced Gantri Made for customization and third-party design creation using foundational pieces.

"Gantri 3D-prints its lamps using plastics made from corn-based polylactic acid (PLA) in its Bay Area facilities. The result is a collection of carefully designed light fixtures with gentle curves that aim to make luxury-style lighting feel somewhat affordable. (Prices range from $200 to $500.)"

"All the lights are wireless and can be removed from charging ports to run for what Gantri says is 10 or more hours of battery life. Gantri is also developing an app to control the lights. They will work with Matter, the connectivity standard that aims to make smart home tech from different companies work together, but that compatibility isn't expected until next year."

"This Gantri new collab is a range of lamps that include floor lamps, table lamps, and ones small enough to hold in your hand. (Those are rectangular, with designs inspired by piers around San Francisco.) All the lights are wireless and can be removed from charging ports to run for what Gantri says is 10 or more hours of battery life."

"Gantri first partnered with Ammunition in 2020, developing a line of stylish lamps aiming to highlight what premium light pieces could look like. You've almost certainly seen something built with Ammunition's flair. The firm designed Beats by Dre headphones, the Square point-of-sale tablets you see in shops everywhere, and many other projects, from robot coffee machines to Jay-Z's failed weed vape cartridges."
