Strata – Layered Wall Lamp

Strata is a warm, atmospheric wall lamp built from layered panels that create depth, shadow, and a soft glowing core. The design consists of three identical stacked modules, each guiding light through a circular opening to create a cozy and sculptural lighting effect.

This lamp was designed by me and optimized for 3D printing, with simple assembly and minimal hardware.

Printing details

• The lamp shown in the photos is printed in matte red PLA
• Light diffusers are printed in white PLA
  ⚠️ Important: the diffusers must be printed in vase mode for the best light diffusion
• Back panels:
  • Print in white PLA if you want a subtle glow on the wall behind the lamp
  • Print in matte red PLA if you want no light to shine through the back

Lighting

• I used a LED panel I had lying around
• You can also use a LED strip (warm white recommended for a cozy effect)
• The LED is mounted to the back panel using double-sided tape

Hardware required

• 16× M2 screws (preferably M2×8)
• Glue (CA glue or similar)

No other hardware is needed.

Assembly instructions

1. Print all parts
2. Assemble the layered modules (from small to big)
   • Insert the rods through the 4  holes on each panel
   • Place a spacer between each panel layer
3. Glue the panels
   • Glue the 3 back panels and 3 main panels together
   • On the main panels, also glue the edge pieces in place
   • If done correctly, the back panel should fit perfectly into the main panel
4. Attach the layered modules
   • Screw each layered part onto the main panel
   • Use 4 screws per module
5. Install the electronics
   • Attach the LED panel or LED strip to the back panel (double-sided tape works well)
6. Final assembly
   • Insert the diffusers into the circular openings
   • Place the backplate onto the main panel
   • Secure it using 2 screws at the top and 2 at the bottom
7. Enjoy
   • Find a nice place to hang or place the lamp in your home and enjoy the warm glow ✨
