Lyot.

A sculptural light derived from the active dune mechanics of Lyot Crater on Mars. Its form is based on barchan dune structures, shaped by persistent winds under a thin atmosphere. An embedded led light traces the relief of the form, recalling the low-angle sunlight that defines the Martian surface through shadow and contrast.

Lyot.

Lyot is a sculptural light printed in quartz sand with a diameter of 55 cm. The form originates from a hand-shaped clay model, digitally captured and translated through additive manufacturing. An adjustable warm LED light is integrated into the outer rim, articulating the surface through soft illumination and deep shadow. Finished with a thin black coating to retain the characteristic sand texture. Custom color options are available.

  • Lyot is a quartz sand 3d print, derived from a hand-shaped clay original. A replaceable, dimmable 3000 K warm LED light is integrated into the rim and mounted on a cooling strip to ensure efficient heat dissipation.

  • Lyot is finished in black. A range of colors are available as an additional coating option. These are applied in a post-process after the 3D printing. The rough texture of the surface will be retained to keep the sand characteristic of the material. 3D-printed color samples are available for €15 per tile ex. shipping.

  • Two in stock. One sand printed light in a black finish. One resin printed light in a warm white finish. This is the only resin printed version, all new prints are made from quartz sand. Estimated lead time is approximately two months.
