Eigenwillicht
Modular lamp made from spiral-grained veneer
Eigenwillicht is a modular lamp that uses industrial wood waste (spiral-grain veneer) that is typically discarded. The lamp's unique shape results from the material's natural tension, making each piece one-of-a-kind. Users dim the light manually by rotating the wooden plates, avoiding complex electronics. The design promotes sustainability by upcycling waste, using low-energy production, biobased adhesives, and offering easy repairability and material separation for recycling.

Lisa Schollbach
Lisa Schollbach is an aspiring product and material designer based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. After completing her Bachelor's degree at HAWK Hildesheim, she pursues her Master's degree at the HfG Offenbach. Her work merges experimental material research with a critical design perspective. She questions conventions, examines processes, and rethinks the familiar. In contrast to the current focus on biobased innovation, she explores potential in the overlooked: in industrial rejects, traditional methods, and existing infrastructures.
