Gantri's Wireless Wonders Illuminate the Future

A digital manufacturing wonder, or just another tech fad? Let’s see.

Gantri, a San Francisco-based company known for making soft, stylized 3D-printed lamps, is going wireless. This move comes courtesy of a new partnership with the design firm Ammunition.


The lamps are printed using polymers made from sugarcane-based polylactic acid (PLA) blends in Bay Area facilities. Designed to make luxury-style lighting feel affordable, prices range from £200 to £500. A year ago, the company launched Gantri Made, allowing third-party designers to build their own designs using Gantri’s foundational pieces.


This new collaboration with Ammunition introduces a range of lamps that include floor lamps, table lamps and small ones designed to hold in your hand. These lights are wireless and can be removed from charging ports for up to 10 hours of battery life. An app is also being developed to control the lights, although compatibility with Matter, the connectivity standard, isn’t expected until next year.


Gantri CEO Ian Yang hopes these wireless lamps will change how people think about lighting and digital manufacturing. He envisions a product that can be used daily and feels portable while becoming a fixture in a home. The proprietary charging port design might inhibit mobility, but Yang argues this was a deliberate choice to make the lamps simple and seamless.


Ultimately, Yang sees this project as the culmination of his vision for Gantri, offering an opportunity to rethink the lighting category rather than just replacing existing forms.
