Lucas Zito

Lucas Zito studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven and returned to Paris, his hometown, in 2019. His approach pairs aesthetics with functionality in the most sustainable way he can manage, and centres on 3D printing with reclaimed or bio-sourced plastics: the Buoy lights of 2021 became his international signature and were followed by Offcut, Monumenta and Wide.

Production moves mainly through the digital realm, from creation to display, while the making of each object stays closer to touch and emotion, so that the same protocol never produces a preconceived result. PLA, a bioplastic derived from corn starch, is among his preferred materials, chosen for how it balances appearance with recyclability. In September 2024, during Paris Design Week, he launched GOOD SELECTION, a curatorial project built on collaboration and community.
