How Gantri Made Enables Top Brands To Bring Lighting To Life
Lead times, schmead times! Gantri, the San Francisco–based lighting company, introduces Gantri Made, a product-development and digital-manufacturing platform that offers a fast, simplified, cost-efficient, and sustainable process for brands to develop and scale their own products—all made in San Leandro, California. The company’s own lighting designs are crafted from its proprietary biodegradable Plant Polymers, which are derived from non-GMO sugarcane. That same material, which can be translucent or sanded and painted, is also available to Gantri Made users and manufacturers. Haworth recently produced lamps on the platform, collaborating with Ammunition on 1970’s-esque Gio and with Prowl on Rae, Luna, and Beam, a trio of 3D-printed lamps that boasts softly curved silhouettes and a refined, sculptural look. Collectible furniture upstart Rarify’s Cube One houses a Gantri-made lighting unit in a frame made from vintage and new USM Haller components. And L.A. manufacturer RAD leveraged the platform’s flexibility for Little Dot, inspired by the gridded perforations of Jean Prouvé building facades. gantri.com
