Pendant lamps for a restaurant interior — Cascais.

take-two designed and built a set of four pendant lamps for Alegria Vadia, a restaurant in Cascais, Portugal. Each lamp was modelled in CAD, 3D-printed in PLA, then sanded and painted by hand before installation. The commission is one of the studio's occasional design projects: take-two is a 3D scanning, engineering, and printing studio whose main work is custom replacement parts — marine fittings, home hardware, and parts for classic cars and motorcycles that are broken, discontinued, or impossible to source. The same process behind those parts — CAD modelling, material selection, review before printing, hand finishing — produced these lamps. To commission a one-off piece or replace a part, send a photo on WhatsApp (+351 967 735 631) or email [email protected]. The studio serves Cascais, Estoril, Sintra, and Lisbon, with on-site 3D scanning available.
