Turn Materials Into Light 💡
 
Every material is hiding a light. 🪵 A plank of wood becomes a warm glow on your desk. ✨ A sheet of acrylic becomes a name that shines. 🔤 Leather, paper, and metal add the texture, layers, and detail that make a lamp truly yours.
 
This summer, we're daring you to make a lamp that actually gets used. Maybe it's a 🛋️ cozy ambient lamp for the living room, a 🌙 night-light for a kid's room, or a 🎉 festive seasonal piece. Maybe it's a ✨ desktop accent, a 🔤 personalized name light, or a 🐾 keepsake lamp for the family or a furry friend. Or maybe it's a 🛒 sellable sample your customers will remember. It doesn't have to be perfect — it has to be yours.
 
Whether you're testing a new material 🧪, documenting a build 🛠️, or creating something for real life or real business, bring your idea to light and join #TurnMaterialsIntoLight. 🏆 Win your share of $1,200 in prizes.
 
🪄 New to lamp-making? Start with the Personalized Night Light Generator or Lampshade Generator on Atomm — turn an idea into a cuttable design in minutes.
