My journey began when I wanted to make my space cozier, a place where I could truly relax and unwind after a long day of work. The overhead lighting felt too harsh, and I couldn’t find a table lamp that matched the cozy vibe I envisioned. So, in a tiny garage with a 3D printer and some leftover lamp parts, Terra Labs was born.
Since then, we’ve released a variety of designs, all driven by our mission to make the world a cozier place. Our thoughtful designs bring warmth, comfort, and a sense of calm to every home.
We’re excited to have you join us in this cozy exploration!

How We Design
Celebrating Simplicity
We incorporate simple geometric shapes and efficient assembly into our designs. This approach makes our products versatile, easily fitting different styles. It also allows for easy repair of broken parts and maximum recycling and reuse of materials when the products reach the end of their life.
How We Produce
Embracing Sustainability
-
3D Printing Technology
We create our products using 3D printing, a low-energy process that allows for on-demand production and generates minimal waste compared to traditional manufacturing methods like injection molding.
-
Plant Based and Recycled Material
Our products are crafted from polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer made from renewable materials like corn or beet. We also strive to incorporate recycled PLA into our designs whenever possible.
-
Made to Order in California
With 3D printing, we can efficiently produce items on demand in our studio in Southern California, eliminating the need for excessive inventory and minimizing waste and energy consumption from production.
-
Recycle and Right to Repair
We prioritize the entire product lifecycle by emphasizing easy repair, recyclability, and proper disposal. Customers can get damaged parts repaired by us, and we prioritize maximum recycling at the product's end of life.
How We Innovate
Printing the Future of Furniture
As 3D printing becomes more accessible, we'll explore more modular concepts and designs intended for printing at home. This empowers anyone with a 3D printer to easily bring unique and functional designs to life in the comfort of their own home.
