The Process

Authored through logic

Every object begins as a definition, not a drawing — a system of rules that gets tuned until the geometry resolves, then fabricated to order.

Process film — algorithm to object
Four steps

From rules to object

01
Define
A parametric definition is built in Grasshopper — a system of rules, not a fixed shape.
02
Tune
Dozens of variations are generated and tuned against proportion, light, and structure.
03
Print
The resolved geometry is sliced and 3D-printed to order in the Vienna studio.
04
Finish
Each piece is cleaned, finished, and inspected by hand before it ships.
Materials

Lamps print in bio-based PLA for a warm light diffusion; objects that need more durability — vases, bowls — print in PETG. Both are recyclable and sourced from EU suppliers. No resin, no support material left behind.

Questions

Common questions

How long does a piece take to arrive?

Each piece is 3D-printed to order in Vienna. It ships within the lead time listed on the product page, plus a few additional days for delivery.

What materials do you print in?

Lamps print in bio-based PLA for warm light diffusion; objects that need more durability — vases, bowls — print in PETG. Both are recyclable and sourced from EU suppliers.

Can I commission a custom piece?

Yes — Madesst.Designs accepts a limited number of parametric commissions each season. Start a project on the Commission page.

Do you ship outside the EU?

Shipping inside the EU is free. Reach out before ordering if you're outside the EU and we'll confirm rates and timelines.
