These luxury LED lamps are made out of corn - CNET
the market for a new floor lamp or bedside reading light? Gantri, a San Francisco-based manufacturer of direct-to-consumer designer lights, just added a couple of new ones to its lineup. And like the rest of the company's offerings, these fixtures are made out of corn.
Billing itself as "a digital manufacturing platform for modern design," Gantri leverages 3D-printing technology to produce small scale runs of high-end light fixtures from independent studios and designers. The latest additions to the catalog range from a $148 table lamp to a $498 floor lamp and come from an American design firm called Ammunition. Browse Gantri's listings, and you'll find other fancy lamps from designers based in Canada, Colombia, Italy, Ukraine and other locales that span the globe.
