Nova: A New Light in Sustainable Design

Nova: A New Light in Sustainable Design

In the heart of Los Angeles, where design, technology, and environmental consciousness intersect, the Nova Table Lamp was born. More than a product, Nova is a statement — a sculptural exploration of light, form, and sustainability.

Crafted through large-scale 3D printing technology, the Nova Table Lamp represents the future of lighting: hyper-customized, locally made, and rooted in sustainable design principles. Every piece is made from 100% recycled materials, giving post-consumer plastic a second life in a form that is both functional and beautiful.

Where Art Meets Innovation

At KARSTEN., we believe objects should tell stories. Nova was our first design — the beginning of a movement to merge parametric design with earth-friendly materials to create interior pieces that inspire, connect, and last.

Its fluid geometry isn’t just visually striking — it’s the result of a complex design process in Rhino + Grasshopper, software typically used in advanced architecture. The organic curvature casts soft, sculptural shadows, offering both ambient glow and artistic presence.

Whether placed on a nightstand, shelf, or side table, Nova instantly transforms a room. The subtle warm white light makes it ideal for bedrooms, reading corners, and entryways where mood and aesthetics matter.


Why Choose a 3D Printed Lamp?

Los Angeles is a city known for reinvention, and the way we light our homes should reflect that same spirit. The Nova Table Lamp is:

  • 3D Printed in LA: Each piece is made-to-order, reducing waste and emissions.

  • Made from Recycled PLA: Diverting plastic from landfills, we give new purpose to discarded materials.

  • Customizable in Color and Finish: Want something bespoke? Nova can be tailored to suit your space.

  • Energy-Efficient: Compatible with LED and smart bulbs, including CMARS and Smart Life app integration.


Designing for a Greener Tomorrow

We didn’t want to just build a beautiful lamp — we wanted to redefine what lighting could be in the age of sustainability. That’s why we use robotic 3D printing, enabling zero-inventory manufacturing and nearly waste-free production. It’s local, agile, and circular.

This approach isn't just good for the planet — it allows us to create forms that are impossible to mold or mass-produce. Each curve of the Nova is a nod to future-forward craftsmanship, born from both digital precision and artistic instinct.


A Bestseller That Sets the Tone

Since its launch, Nova has become our most popular piece — a flagship design that resonates deeply with clients who care about craft, consciousness, and cutting-edge aesthetics.

As we grow into larger-scale architectural and furniture printing, Nova will remain a cornerstone — a reminder that big changes often start with one small, glowing idea.
