SETTLE

Materials and production

Made slowly, one at a time.

Each SETTLE piece is developed from an original form, produced layer by layer in Sønderborg, individually finished and assembled with its weighted base or wooden legs.

Material

PLA, chosen for the form.

The shades are produced from PLA, a material commonly made from renewable plant-derived feedstocks.

Its properties allow us to create thin, detailed forms with the characteristic ribbed surface that defines SETTLE.

PLA, or polylactic acid, is a thermoplastic made using sugars obtained from plant-based feedstocks. PLA does not normally break down in home compost or in the natural environment. At the end of its useful life, the product should be handled according to local recycling and waste guidance.

01

Layer by layer

The production method creates the fine ribbed texture that defines SETTLE shades.

02

Produced in small quantities

Pieces are produced as needed rather than held in large inventories.

03

Designed as separate parts

The SETTLE shade and its base or legs remain separate from the cord set and bulb. Electrical components are purchased separately and can be replaced independently.

Colour

Colours chosen for quiet interiors.

Pebble

A warm, muted neutral that sits naturally beside oak, linen and stone.

Pale SageInspired by RAL 6021

A calm green with a soft organic character.

Sangria

A deep, warm red that gives the lamp a more expressive presence.

Espresso

A grounded brown-black for darker, architectural interiors.

Chalk

A soft warm white for a seamless, understated appearance.
