What a lithophane is
A lithophane is a photograph turned into an object. We print your image in 3D by playing with the thickness of the material: where the photo is light, the wall is very thin and lets a lot of light through; where it’s dark, thicker and it blocks the light. Off, it looks like a white plate; lit from behind, your photograph appears with all its greys and nuances. It’s a 19th-century technique that 3D printing has made accessible and spectacular.
Lamp, night light, panel or keychain
The same technique, in the format you need:
- Tabletop lithophane lamp: a photo that lights up every night in the living room or on the bedside table.
- Children’s night light: soft night light with the baby’s photo or their favourite character.
- Panel or picture for the window: revealed by sunlight; ideal for portraits and landscapes.
- Lithophane keychain: your photo in your pocket, visible against the light.
- Lantern or multi-sided cube: up to four photos in a single object.
How to order: just your photo
You don’t need 3D files or modelling skills. Send us the photograph on WhatsApp or via the contact page and we transform it into a lithophane. We work with a single image or a collage of several. If you want a specific format — a wooden base, a stand with a switch, a light colour — just tell us and we build it.

The gift no one expects
A lithophane is one of those gifts that silences the whole table when it lights up. It works for anniversaries, the birth of a baby, a pet that’s no longer here or a travel memory. Combine it with other personalised gifts or with 3D-printed figures and toys for a complete detail.
