Hey there!
Yoca Design is a small business starting an independent path in a big industry. Read below about our approach to design and sustainability. We would appreciate your support by spreading the word and engaging with our brand through our website and social media. We hope our lamps will illuminate your home with good energy during the day and night.
Day and Night
At Yoca, we believe that light fixtures should shine day and night. At night, our bedside table lamps illuminate. During the day, the lamps are sculptures, floating in space.
Regardless of the time of day, our lamps will become a statement piece in your home.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a fundamental part of our practice and approach to design.
Our lampshades are produced from recycled bioplastic made from corn starch. This bioplastic material is made from renewable resources which use 65% less energy than other virgin materials.
In addition to using sustainable materials, we use 3D printing to craft more sustainable lamps. In 3D printing, layers of cornstarch are seamlessly built on top of each other to form the lampshade. 3D printing allows us to make our products on demand. This reduces waste significantly. This technology also avoids material spills that typically occur in industrial processes.
It takes us about twelve hours to 3D print a lamp.
Design
Yoca uses both traditional and contemporary fabrication techniques. We learn from the past and celebrate the future. This synergy enables us to create new designs that celebrate our world and the unique individuals that inhabit it.
We make our products in-house in London, UK, ensuring that every piece receives the attention and care it deserves. We do not use factories or mass-produce our designs. Because we make our lamps by order we produce minimal
waste.
