Anna Strupinskaya, object designer and founder of her own studio, became the winner of the contest as she presented the lamp Hako. The object comprised Japanese philosophy, the craft of carpentry and additive manufacturing.

Thus Anna Strupinskaya chose and untreated piece of a hundreds-year-old pine tree. It was scanned with a 3D scanner and the missing half was reconstructed by the means of 3D print. The upper part of the lamp is half transparent, and by emitting the light of covered led lamps it accents the perfect bark pattern.
