Built for people
with a slightly
concerning love
for moody lighting.

My name is Jakob – a 31 year old German man living in Copenhagen with my Danish wife. When I was 22 I built my first 3D printer from parts and used it to print everything from hydroponic towers to drinking games to new hinges for the kitchen cabinets. I loved the freedom and versatility it gave me and I became the go-to 3D printer guy in my friend group.

When I quit my consultant job in 2026, I quickly looked to my 3D printer to figure out my next step. My old machine had been replaced with a state-of-the-art Bambu Lab printer, already starting to collect dust. I decided to break it in by using it to make one of the things I was most impressed about when I originally moved to Denmark – lighting.

My mother country had introduced me to efficient, bright light – Denmark introduced me to low lights and multiple, smaller light sources. I knew I wanted to offer my take, so I combined it with the two other things that have always brought me joy – nature and technology.

Lamella Lab is the passion project that grew from combining those interests and, as my wife says, adding a healthy dose of German engineering.

I hope you love it as much as I do.
