A ruffled form shaped like a Victorian collar, set on a base of black and white squares. That pairing defines the Ondu Wonderland Collection, a set of 3D printed objects, including a 3d printed table lamp, from designer Mustafa Başaran and the Studio he leads, Gliese Design (@gliesedesign).
The collection includes three objects: a table lamp, a vase, and a candle holder. Each one uses additive manufacturing, which builds the form layer by layer from a digital model.
Layer-by-layer printing invites bold experiments, as Towering 3D printed sculptures blending Baroque and sci-fi shows in London’s Regent’s Park.
The Studio describes the series as made from sustainable biopolymers. The materials named in the project notes are PLA, made from corn starch and recycled food packaging, and post-consumer PETG. The Studio’s wider research focuses on natural balance and geometric proportion, and these objects carry that research into the home.
Carroll’s nonsense, printed in plastic: the 3d printed table lamp
The collection draws on the playful surrealism of Lewis Carroll. Its starting point is the “logical nonsense” of Alice‘s world, which the designers translate into everyday objects.
The ruffled forms recall the theatrical collars of the Victorian era, and the table lamp design shows that link most clearly. Beneath them, the bases use a checkerboard pattern based on the geometry of a chessboard. The chessboard serves as a source of structure, not a scene or a story setting.
The project sets the cold precision of digital printing against the warmth of narrative design. Its makers argue that high-tech manufacturing and environmental care can work together. The printed plastics give the objects their technical base, while the forms give them their character. In the 3d printed lamp, that balance is easiest to see.
For a sculptural lamp with a longer pedigree, Carlo Nason’s 1969 Lotus Lamp returns with Gubi offers a mid-century counterpoint to the ruffled Ondu form.
According to the Studio, the pieces are meant to act as storytellers in a room. They invite a closer look, and the details shift as the viewer moves around them. Whether the pieces hold that attention over years of daily use is a question the project has not yet answered.
designboom received the project through its DIY submissions feature, which publishes work from readers.

Frequently asked questions
What objects are included in the Ondu Wonderland Collection?
The Ondu Wonderland Collection includes three 3D printed objects: a table lamp, a vase, and a candle holder. Each one is built layer by layer from a digital model using additive manufacturing.
What materials are the Ondu Wonderland objects made from?
The project notes name PLA, made from corn starch and recycled food packaging, and post-consumer PETG. The Studio describes the series as made from sustainable biopolymers.
Who designed the Ondu Wonderland Collection of 3D printed objects?
The collection was designed by Mustafa Başaran and the Studio he leads, Gliese Design. The article does not describe the collection’s design process beyond this.
What inspires the checkerboard pattern on the Ondu lamp bases?
The bases use a checkerboard pattern based on the geometry of a chessboard. The chessboard serves as a source of structure rather than a scene or story setting.
