Lampmarks Munttoren Lamp

Not just any lamp, but one in the shape of the Amsterdam Munttoren. A beautiful decorative object and mood lamp for the living room or children's room. With a 3D printer made of PLA, a plastic based on corn starch that is 100% biodegradable. A design by Joost Gijzel, the man behind the Marks brand that translates iconic towers into lamps and other products.

Marks

Marks is a concept by Studio Joost Gijzel from Utrecht, with Joost Gijzel graphic and product designer and photographer as the driving force. It started with the idea for a sand shape of the Dom Tower, which he overlooks from his studio, which arose while playing in the sandbox with his two- and three-year-old nephews and nieces. They really enjoyed building towers – and demolishing them again. Since there weren't many educational toys on the market, he thought, let me make my own. That's where (Sand)Marks started. Not much later followed Flowermarks (vases), Treemarks Christmas tree decorations and also Lampmarks.

The Mint Tower

The Mint Tower, also known as The Mint, is officially called the Regulierstoren, formerly part of the Regulierspoort. This city gate was one of the three main gates of Amsterdam's medieval fortifications. The tower got its current name in the Disaster Year 1672, when Amsterdam was temporarily given the right of minting because French troops occupied large parts of the country. After the Regulierspoort went up in flames in 1618, it was decided to rebuild only the west tower. In 1619-1620 it was given an octagonal superstructure and an elegant open lantern designed by Hendrick de Keyser, containing a clockwork with four dials, and in 1668 a carillon by the Hemony brothers. The Mint Tower is 35 meters high.
