"Lighting can transform a space, but when a lamp is made from living materials, it becomes more than just a source of illumination. It becomes a conversation starter. The Lapso bacteria cellulose translucent lamp, designed by Natural Urbano in collaboration with Polybion, is exactly that kind of lighting piece. This innovative lamp is not only visually striking with its ruffled, organic contours, but also represents a groundbreaking step toward sustainable design using cutting-edge biomaterials."
"The Lapso lamp is crafted from bacterial cellulose, a material produced through the fermentation of specific bacteria. Unlike traditional plastics or even paper, bacterial cellulose is both biodegradable and highly versatile. The lamp's unique translucent quality comes from the thin, layered sheets of this material, which naturally diffuse light in a soft and soothing way. When illuminated, the lamp takes on an ethereal glow that enhances any room with a sense of warmth and natural beauty."
Lapso is a translucent lamp grown from bacterial cellulose produced by fermentation of specific bacteria. The material is biodegradable, versatile, and forms thin, layered sheets that softly diffuse light. The lamp's ruffled, organic contours evoke sea creatures, petals, or fungi, creating an ethereal, warm glow when illuminated. Natural Urbano collaborated with Polybion to combine biofabrication techniques and handmade production, growing cellulose in controlled conditions to achieve desired texture and transparency. The production relies on renewable resources, generates minimal waste, and demonstrates a low-impact alternative to plastics and paper for functional, decorative lighting.
