Algue.MGX by Xavier Lust for MGX by Materialise
“The Algue.MGX ornamental table lamp seems to undulate following the streams and moving fluids in our environment. It is a lit evocation of the abyssal depths of our oceans.”
- Xavier Lust
“The idea for the Algue.MGX was born during one of the frequent informal meetings I had with Xavier in his studio. At one point, we came to talk about the classic novel ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’ by Jules Verne, and how 3D printing technologies could give us the freedom to imitate the fantastical, vegetal shapes from the story. The sketches drawn during this meeting became the starting point of the 3D computer development. For me, the Algue.MGX is a fantasy come to life,”
- Alessio Esposti, Art Director, .MGX.

Sumo Armchair by Xavier Lust
The fusion of a sphere and a cube – the base concept for the formal development of the line – creates external swellings that reveal a tension trapped inside the mass. When they are being used the pieces seem to lower themselves to envelope us in a welcoming hug. The design evokes the power, balance, and serenity of a Sumo wrestler.
