The Saccorhiza Lamp Collection

The Saccorhiza collection represents the culmination of our research into biomaterials and underused resources. As the studio's first completed exploration of materiality and material agency, this lamp collection celebrates the unique character of algae.

Every algae specimen collected along the Portuguese coast varies dramatically, from volume to texture, with some bearing distinctive marks from marine species. This natural variation makes each lamp truly one-of-a-kind.

These lamps are designed to be active companions in your home. Like a houseplant, they require care and attention, though nurturing rather than watering. Their evolving, living presence creates a mini sanctuary within your space, connecting you deeply with your environment—both human-made and natural.

About us

Our mission is to pioneer the creation of innovative biomaterials and champion sustainable design practices. We want to shift from classifying materials as ‘natural resources’ but rather ‘co-inhabitants’, establishing a physical relationship with the organisms, body to body, by letting them guide our way of creating. We honor the intrinsic qualities of nature, minimize waste streams, and cultivate a deeper, more meaningful connection between individuals and their environment.
