His lamps are manufactured using FDM printing technology, which deposits PLA filament in overlapping layers. Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer derived from lactic acid, which is produced from 100% renewable resources such as corn, beets, wheat, and other starch-rich products.

The Estepa project, which combines design and socio-environmental commitment. His lamps are inspired by the 'horneros' – a South American bird – and the structure of their nests. His pieces are handmade, and their production provides jobs and training to people from disadvantaged socio-economic sectors, thus helping them join the formal employment circuit. The lampshades are manufactured with reused cardboard to minimize environmental impact.

From their workshop in Villa Urquiza, Buenos Aires, Fiumine creates lamps that illuminate, highlight, and enrich the space they inhabit, taking center stage even when unlit. Led by industrial designers Mercedes Massot and Paula Stremiz and business administrator Francisco Silva Font, they utilize materials such as porcelain, ceramics, iron, blown glass, and even reclaimed scraps of various natural and synthetic stones.

From their offices, factory, and warehouse in Buenos Aires City, and in collaboration with interior designers, lighting designers, and architects, iMdi aims to create pleasant and comfortable environments, designing unique experiences through light. The luminaires in their catalog are characterized by a refined and contemporary design. On occasion, they undertake special developments to adapt some of their fixtures to the specific needs of certain projects. They manufacture their fixtures, supervise each stage of the process, and work daily to guarantee the quality of their products.

From Córdoba, Indigo Lumières specializes in high-performance luminaires. They offer a catalog of standardized products with variable dimensions and develop customized luminaires, both morphologically and technologically, to specifically intervene in architectural projects and interior design proposals.

Their luminaires are conceived under technical and lighting performance standards validated in the international market.

Lämmin fuses artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary technologies to produce luminaires that stand out for their constructive resolution. It starts from a flat material to build a single-piece volume that requires no external joining elements and features a high degree of design detail.

Mags Design creates luminaires that convey the fusion of craftsmanship and contemporary style. Each piece is the result of meticulous work, where design, materiality, and emotion combine to transform spaces. Their mission is to always be at the forefront, leading trends in materials, finishes, and colors.

Manfroni is dedicated to creating lamps and lighting solutions that stand out for their artisanal design and high engineering. They boost national industry by crafting each piece with dedication and precision, to offer sophisticated and functional products. Their lamps are much more than design objects. They are the legacy of three generations of metallurgical artisans, whose passion is transmitted in every detail. Minimalism is their guide, quality their obsession, and hand-finishing their signature.
