Ohmie The Orange Lamp addresses the problem of over-exploitation of natural resources by transforming a product, often mistaken as waste - orange peels - into a valuable material. It is the first lamp of its kind, as its rich color and texture transform orange scraps into sleek, natural lines and surfaces that offer a distinct design and ambiance, but also tell the story of its origin, evoking nature's memories and sensations.

Ohmie is much more than a product: it is the symbol of a much-needed renewal that brings greater synergy with nature into everyone's lives, without having to compromise on aesthetics or quality. Through research, the designers have developed this new innovative material. From the union of orange peels and a biopolymer base, a velvety and robust material is born, which is 100% natural and compostable and preserves a strong memory of its origin.

Ohmie is designed in synergy with nature, to offer you a unique experience. From the orange peel texture of the outer surface to the subtle layers of 3D printing and its smell, Ohmie takes us on a journey through the senses. Made from a single body, Ohmie is specially designed to use as little material as possible, be as light as its ecological footprint and have a perfectly angled beam to illuminate your workspace.

Functional details include: light beam at the perfect angle to light up the working area; a dimmable switch to cater to everyone’s needs; delicate scent of orange, cookies, and more… in each person it will evoke a different smell; unprecedented material experience: organic, suggestive, soothing; Innovative and unique design in 23cm of height and 150gr; 3D printed in a single-body; USB plug.
