]]>It all started when a colleague of hers asked to make a gift for his friend, a “big fantasy fan and an avid reader.” Sachenwerkler usually creates lamps for herself, but she accepted the commission.
She began the project by printing the book covers on paper and then gluing them to cardboard. Next, she started working on the dragon’s nest using acrylic Easter eggs and a nest formed from aluminum foil. When she was done making the base plate of different heights of Styrodur sheets, she began with the painting.
“But as I want the nest to be glowing, I need it to be transparent. So after drying I once again cover it with foil. The foil serves as a separating layer, because on it I now glue several layers of yellow transparent paper on it,” she said in a statement for Bored Panda.
She finished her project by decorating the dragon eggs and adding LED lamps. She also made two baby dragons who had already hatched.
Check out the gallery below to see her brilliant work.

]]>“I think about people who like natural materials, like paper or wood,” Fiter explained in an interview with the Etsy blog. “That’s the kind of person I am; I like these materials in my home, too. I also think about making things that are quite simple in design.”
But creating something simple isn’t as simple as it seems. “First I think about what I could make and I start doing some sketches,” says Fiter, describing the process that goes behind the scenes. “Once I know the shape I want, I think about which mold would serve me best. I use different kinds of molds: Some are balloons, some are cardboard, some are made with funnels, and one lamp, the Metamorfozis, is made from a Coke bottle mold.”
According to Fiter, she was always drawn to manual work, enjoying activities like painting, sewing, and making furniture. Her love of lamps came later, during her Erasmus internship, while working with wood. “It’s great when you can reuse things that already exist and give them a second life,” she notes.

]]>Each piece is custom made, with samples taken from people, places or things that hold a position of importance to the client. These samples of bacteria are grown into a unique piece in the form of commissioned work. “When producing a piece for commissioned work, the customer is very much involved in this process,” explained Klingler in an interview with Sixtysix Magazine, “getting to choose between the colors that grow or having a pure mix of all of them.”
According to the industrial designer, the finished custom products turn through this scientific-like process into vessels that contain past memories. “The possibilities are as individual as each one of us,” he writes on his website. These possibilities include swabbing the location of a first date, a personal souvenir from a memorable journey, or the remainder of loved one far away.
“We all consist of 10 times more bacteria than human cells,” Klingler states. “Every living being and place has its own unique and personal microbiological fingerprint. In a crossover between science, art, and industrial design, the bacteria lamp uses this fact to create stand out conversational pieces.”

]]>“While others may develop one style and reproduce countless versions of it, for me, the creative process is a journey that takes you to places limited only by your imagination,” he explains on his personal website.
Originally from France, Godard moved to the United States in 1989 and is currently based in northwestern Connecticut, where his studio sits at the very edge of a nature preserve in the rolling foothills of the Berkshires. Working with raw materials such as wood and metal, his organic designs are in direct dialogue with his natural surroundings.
“I pride myself on having a keen eye for choosing the perfect materials,” he noted adding that these materials have beautiful natural curves, which makes his pieces unique and which define his work as that of a naturalist. Having a meadow right outside the studio also helps, as inspiration is aplenty.
Here are some of his original designs.
