Folio Lamp
MAIN PURPOSE: Glow on a shelf while propping up a row
A bookend that glows. It stands at the end of a row like a closed hardback: the books lean on its plain side, the wave cut-outs on its cover side light up from an LED puck inside, and the spine carries an engraved title. Coins in the bottom add weight.

Battery LED puck only. Prints as shown on its floor, no supports. The lid prints as a separate part, top down.
Luminaria Ring
MAIN PURPOSE: Hold a paper tube lantern round an LED puck
A base that turns a sheet of paper into a lantern. Roll an A4 sheet of tracing paper, pierced or drawn on, into a tube and stand it in the narrow ring groove; an LED puck sits in the middle and lights the paper from inside, so every new sheet is a new lantern.

Meander Tile
MAIN PURPOSE: Tile a wall with a rearrangeable meander
A flat tile with two quarter circles bitten from opposite corners. Hang a field of them on single centre screws and turn each one a quarter at random: the bites meet across the joints and the wall shows a wandering path of circles and S curves, different every time you rearrange it.

A dot of removable adhesive stops a tile turning. Prints flat as a plate, no supports.
Stijl Panel
MAIN PURPOSE: Compose a grid artwork with swappable inserts
A De Stijl grid you finish yourself. Thick black-style bars divide the panel into nine unequal cells: fill a few with coloured card, paint or fabric offcuts and leave the rest blank, then hang it on its keyhole as a modern wall piece that changes whenever the inserts do.

Coffer Tile
MAIN PURPOSE: Give a wall the depth of a coffered ceiling
A coffered relief tile, the sunken ceiling panel of Roman and Renaissance halls at the scale of a wall tile. A deep frame, a moulded inner ring and a sunken centre catch light from above in three steps; hang a grid of them on their keyholes for an instant architectural wall or ceiling.

Sunray Frame
MAIN PURPOSE: Frame a round mirror as an Art Deco sunburst
An Art Deco sunburst frame for a round mirror. Glue a 150 mm craft mirror on the centre field and the 24 rays, long and short in turn, spread out round it; the keyhole sits behind the mirror so the screw never shows.

Gold or brass silk PLA. Mirror glued with mirror adhesive. Prints flat as a plate, no supports.
Duet Tray
MAIN PURPOSE: Serve as a tray, then hang as wall art
A catch-all tray with a second life as wall art. The underside carries an engraved diamond pattern and two keyholes, so when the coffee table needs clearing it hangs on the wall face out as a decorative panel, and comes down again as a tray.

Moonbalance
MAIN PURPOSE: Balance a crescent on a fingertip
A crescent that balances on a fingertip by its nose. The arch weighs more below the tip than above it, so it tips, swings and always returns level; press an M8 nut into each horn pad and it stands on a pencil point or the Fulcrum Stand tip. A desk object that explains centre of mass without a word.

Bloom Ring
MAIN PURPOSE: Build a ring that expands and contracts
One link of an expanding ring: two 50 mm arms kinked at 150 degrees. Pin twelve pairs at their kinks and join the pairs end to end with M3 screws, and the ring breathes from a tight crown to a ring twice as wide when you pull it open. A kinetic centrepiece and a lesson in angulated scissors.

Helix Spindle
MAIN PURPOSE: Twist stacked discs into a changing sculpture
A sculpture you play with: oval discs with an off-centre hole thread onto an 8 mm dowel. Turn each a few degrees past the last and the stack twists into a helix; push them about and it becomes a wave, a fan or a column. The Swivel Post socket makes a ready base.
