ARK COLLECTION
3D PRINTED AND HAND SHAPED IN COPENHAGEN
Launched during Salone del Mobile 2026, where it won First Prize at the SaloneSatellite Award, the collection takes its name from the Danish word for sheet.
The natural pigmentation of our lamps comes from seashells collected from restaurants, crushed and mixed with a biopolymer for 3D printing.
Exploring unconventional ways of 3D printing in a conversation between digital precision and material intuition, between what we program and what the material wants to become.

What distinguishes Ark is how it captures a specific moment in time. The material remains fluid when warm, allowing us to shape it by hand. As it cools, it sets into its final form. Preserving gestures that appear fluid, even when they become static.
Formed by Stefannia Russo (BR) and Søren Betak (DK), RUSSO BETAK 3D prints biomaterials sourced from waste into lighting objects.
Using our self-built robotic system, our work emerges from the precision of 3D printing and the unpredictability of biomaterials.
Our process involves 3D printing flat and sculpting the forms by hand, letting the biomaterial inform how each piece comes together.
