Signify, the world leader in lighting, invites guests to discover the limitless potential of 3D printing during Dutch Design Week with a bar made from waste materials that serves as a unique space to showcase the brand’s vision for the Future of Lighting Design. Alongside this innovative installation, a stunning new collection of geometric pendants by renowned British designer Sebastian Bergne.
Opening the conversation on The Future of Lighting Design also marks the launch of the Gleam, MyCreation’s latest collection by acclaimed British industrial designer Sebastian Bergne. Tasked with reinterpreting the simplicity of the classic light bulb, Bergne transforms the glowing pendant globe into a striking seven-sided heptagonal profile.
“For consumers, the most significant future development in lighting will be greater choice and flexibility. Imagine being able to return a lamp to be ‘reformed’ into a new design as your needs evolve. The material won’t be wasted, but rather reshaped, requiring only minimal energy. In an ideal, digitally-driven system, this process could be both efficient and affordable.”

The collection features two variations—one slightly inflated and the other deflated—both crafted from bio-circular materials. Leveraging the flexibility of 3D printing, Gleam comes in a variety of sizes and textures, each distinguished by horizontal lines that follow the grain of the 3D print, producing a unique lighting effect and atmosphere. Sebastian Bergne is renowned for transforming everyday objects through his essential and human-centered approach to design.
“It is an important part of my job as a designer to push for new geometries and redefined icons to accompany our everyday lives and reflect contemporary manufacturing systems”
