Concept
It begins as a sketch — a shape that could carry warm light and feel calm. We refine the silhouette in 3D, testing the way light passes through every wave and fold.
Two Waves · Hand-finished in Perth
Tendril
Buy$389.00 incl. GST · free shipping
A sculpted table lamp wrapped in long, looping curves, like vines that grew there overnight. Lit, it climbs shadow up the wall and across the ceiling; unlit, it reads as a botanical drawing. At home on a console, a sideboard, or a wide shelf.

Tendril
$389.00
Sculpted table light
Drawn, rather than built.
Long soft curves run across Tendril like vines that grew there overnight. Lit, they loop shadows across the wall and a slow climbing pattern on the ceiling; switched off, it holds the stillness of a botanical drawing.
Design by Leora. 3D-printed, hand-finished, Two Waves in Perth, Western Australia
See it in a room
Watch the light change things.
A few seconds of each lamp, switched on.
Live with it
It changes the room at sunset.
A warm 2700K glow, diffused through a sculpted shell — soft, ember-warm, never harsh. A quiet object by day, the heart of the room by night.
Our promise to you
Buy it with no second-guessing.
A real guarantee from two real makers — because we'd want the same before bringing something home.
01
30-night in-home trial
Live with it for 30 nights. If the lamp isn't right for your room, send it back and we'll refund you in full.
02
Checked one by one
Nothing is mass-produced. Every shell is inspected and hand-finished by us before it's allowed to leave the studio.
03
Made to be repaired
Standard E27 bulb, replaceable cord, a material that lasts. Built so you keep it for years — not replace it in a season.

The two of us
Made by hand, by Leo & Orne.
We're Leo and Orne. We sculpt every lamp ourselves, from a small studio off the Indian Ocean in Scarborough, Perth. No factory — every lamp is printed, finished and packed by the two of us, in small batches.
That's the whole promise of two waves: paired, patient, full of an energy that doesn't ask permission to keep coming. When your lamp arrives, you're holding a piece of exactly how we work — you'll feel it when it's on, and notice it when it's off.
- 2 People in the studio
- ~4 days Of slow printing per lamp

The material
Grown from plants, not pumped from oil.
Every shell is printed in PLA — a plant-based bioplastic made from fermented corn starch, not petroleum. We chose it for the way it carries warm light, and because an object you keep for years shouldn't cost the planet a thing. Tap through what that actually means.
PLA is made from fermented corn starch — a renewable plant sugar, not crude oil. No petroleum, no toxic off-gassing, no harsh chemical smell. A material you can live beside, in the rooms you spend the most time in.
Printed in low, slow layers and finished by hand, each shell is rigid, stable and made to live with you for a decade — not a season. The bulb and cord are replaceable, so when something wears you repair it instead of binning it.
At the end of a long life the shell is fully recyclable and breaks down in an industrial composting facility — back to where it came from. Nothing here is destined for landfill.
Paired with a warm 2700K LED that runs cool and sips power. The PLA diffuser softens the light into an ember glow — gentle on the eyes, easy on the room, kind on your bill.
Reviews
What people say:
The making of
Each lamp is a small piece of art.
Around four days of slow printing and hand-finishing — the story behind every Two Waves piece.
Modelling
The silhouette becomes a digital mesh — every ridge mapped in CAD. We test how each line catches the printer head and how the glow will read once it's lit from inside.
Printing
About four days, layer by layer. The printer lays down plant-based PLA in low, slow lines. The texture you see on the surface is the path of the nozzle, recorded permanently into form.
Finishing
Sanded by hand, wired with a warm 2700K bulb, then given one last look before it leaves the studio — ready to change how your room feels the moment it switches on.
Frequently asked
What you might want to know.
How long does shipping take?
Every lamp is in stock and ready — most orders ship the same or next business day. Free, tracked delivery Australia-wide, 3–5 business days from dispatch. Internationally: 7–14 business days.
What bulb does it use?
A standard E27 socket. Every Two Waves lamp ships with a warm 2700K, 5W LED bulb (806 lumens, CRI 90) — the right temperature for the diffuser, and easy to replace anywhere. It's not dimmable; there's an inline on/off switch on the cord.
Are the lamps really made in Perth?
Yes. Every lamp is sculpted in plant-based PLA in our Scarborough studio in Perth, Western Australia. Leo and Orne hand-finish every piece themselves before it ships — there's no factory in between.
What is PLA, and is it safe?
PLA is a plant-based bioplastic made from fermented corn starch — not petroleum. It's stable, odourless and safe to live with, and it's fully recyclable and compostable in industrial facilities at the end of its life.
Is every lamp exactly the same?
No two are perfectly identical — each one is shaped and finished by hand, so small variations in texture and finish are part of what makes it feel made, not manufactured.
Can I return it if it doesn't fit my space?
Of course. We offer a 30-night in-home trial — if the lamp isn't right for your room, send it back and we'll refund you in full. We'd rather it found the right home.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship to New Zealand and internationally, in 7–14 business days depending on destination. Every lamp is fitted with a standard Australian plug — if you're outside Australia or New Zealand, you'll need a travel adapter.
How do I clean and care for it?
Wipe the shell with a soft, dry or barely-damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives, and never submerge it — it's an electrical piece. Switch it off and let it cool before cleaning.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No — every Two Waves lamp is designed for indoor use only. The PLA shell and electrical components aren't weatherproofed for sun, rain, or humidity.
Can I use a different bulb?
Yes, any standard E27 bulb fits. We ship a warm 2700K LED because it suits the diffuser best — if you swap it, we'd recommend staying close to that warmth and to the wattage of the bulb we send.
Does it make a good gift?
It's one of the most common reasons people buy one. A lamp changes how a room feels the moment it's switched on — mention it's a gift when you message us and we'll make sure the packaging feels like one too.
Is it safe for Australian power?
Yes. The lamp runs on 240V / 50Hz through a moulded Australian plug and a fabric-covered flexible cord, with an inline on/off switch. The plug and cord are certified to AS/NZS 3112 and AS/NZS IEC 60227.5 and carry the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM). Indoor use only.
