The Rocket Riso Lamp | 2023

In collaboration with Joe de Weijer and PageMasters.

Inspired by the colourful and iconic Lava Lamp, and following the retro-futuristic cue from the Riso ink tube’s design, I designed a simple, practical, inexpensive lamp base. One that the RISO ink tube could simply be plonked onto, and swapped over any time.

Joe made the design happen with his incredible 3D skills. After several iterations, we arrived at a 6-piece structure that can be assembled with no glue or screws.

Together, we worked on the graphic side of packaging and identity, leaning on the up-cycling theme and focusing on using what was already at our disposal.

Riso printing studio and independent publishers PageMasters were enthusiastic patrons of our project, supplying us with endless empty ink tubes and lamp parts.

You buy the lamp at the PageMasters shop, or in Gengibrão if you’re in Brasil.
