Process

From a 3D design file to the lamp in your hands — here's what stands behind every NOLA.

Manufacturing

Lower waste.
Affordably priced.

Inside the workshop

Every layer, every pair of hands.

Asa Studio team member lifting a freshly printed NOLA shade off the rack — Every Asa design is the result of serious research and a standard of perfection we never compromise on.

NOLA shade printing beside the machine, with its ASA charm tag hanging off the rim — Every lamp is crafted with precision and the pride we put into our work.

Asa Studio team member inspecting a NOLA shade fresh off the printer — Every product is finished only once it meets the standard we believe you deserve.

Quality control

Checked, detail by detail.
Before it reaches you.

Colorful PLA 3D-printing filament spools, the bio-based plastic NOLA lamps are printed from

Material

PLA — a bio-based plastic,
safe and biodegradable.

Every NOLA lamp is 3D-printed from PLA — a plastic made from plant starch like corn and sugarcane, free of harmful chemicals and far more biodegradable than conventional plastic. Each layer prints at 0.1mm to keep the detail and even light diffusion once the lamp is on.
