The Light Architecture made of Biopolymer
Conscious material, modern design
The WordClock Jupiter Phantom PLA Edition is our answer to modern, conscious design. Made from high-quality polylactide (PLA) – a biodegradable material based on renewable raw materials such as corn starch – this edition combines ecological responsibility with innovative manufacturing technology.
Transparency,
reimagining light
The particularly thin, precision-manufactured front is refined using a special printing process.
The result is a fascinating play with transparency: the letters do not shine out from the front, but instead become visible through it as a diffuse, gentle light – a design that sets new standards by day and night.
The Manufacturing Process - Precision in Layer Design
The PLA Edition is the result of state-of-the-art manufacturing methods optimized for maximum lightness and light efficiency.
01
Biopolymer Base: High-quality PLA, obtained from plant-based sources such as sugarcane or corn, serves as the starting material. This makes the material not only lightweight and robust, but also a more environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
02
Additive Manufacturing & Precision Printing: Unlike metal variants, the PLA front is shaped in a special, high-precision process. The extremely low material thickness is crucial here: it forms the basis for the characteristic "shining through" of the light typography.
03
Individual Refinement: The front is printed in a complex process that seals the housing and at the same time precisely defines the non-illuminated areas. This enables an unparalleled brilliance of the letter edges.
04
Sustainable Cycle: Since PLA has a lower environmental impact during processing, this edition is ideal for anyone looking for design objects with a smaller ecological footprint.
Material Properties & Haptics –
Modern Design for Every Taste
In direct comparison to the heavy metal or concrete editions, the PLA variant impresses with its weightless aesthetics. It looks elegant, almost floating, and brings a modern lightness to any interior.
The haptic peculiarity lies in the texture. The surface is smooth, precise, and feels modern and "clean". The material is robust and resilient, with the low material thickness giving the object an almost organic appearance.
Transparent Brilliance
The highlight of the PLA Edition is the light guidance. The letters shine through the material, bathing the text in a soft, diffuse glow. This reduces the harshness of the light and makes time appear as a soft, almost magical element in the room.
Affordable Luxury
As our entry-level edition, the PLA variant is the most affordable way to experience the Jupiter light design without compromising on precision or visual effect. It makes first-class design and modern manufacturing technology accessible to a wider audience without lowering our workshop's quality standards. For only 269 EUR, you can experience the word clock and later upgrade the front if desired – made possible by our modular system.
Easy-Care & Modern
PLA is inherently anti-static and very easy to care for. A quick wipe is enough to preserve its flawless appearance.
The Historical Context: From the Plastic
Age to Conscious Evolution
The history of plastics is a reflection of human progress and at the same time a lesson in ecological responsibility. To understand the value of the PLA Edition, one must look at the journey of the materials.
The Legacy of the Synthetic Era
The 20th century was the "Plastic Age". Based on fossil resources like petroleum, plastics enabled an industrial revolution that made everyday products cheap and available. But this progress came at a price: a flood of materials that are extremely durable but hardly ecologically degradable. The Jupiter PLA Edition positions itself as a conscious alternative to this throwaway culture.
PLA – The Technological Turning Point
Polylactic acid (PLA) marks the transition to a new way of thinking. While classical plastics are synthetic polymers based on petroleum, PLA is a biopolymer. The idea behind it is surprisingly old – as early as 1932, chemist Wallace Carothers (the inventor of nylon) succeeded in producing PLA for the first time at DuPont. But it took decades for industrial manufacturing to become efficient enough to establish it as a real, sustainable alternative.
From Agricultural Raw Material to High-Tech
Design
Today, PLA is obtained through the fermentation of plant sugars – such as corn starch or sugarcane. This makes it one of the first plastics where the raw material theoretically regrows instead of being extracted from finite fossil sources.
PLA is the pioneer of a new generation of materials that combines technical precision with biological wisdom.
Design as a Statement
With the PLA Edition, we use a material that rewrites the history of plastic. We no longer use the "eternal plastic" of the past, but a material that brings technological progress into harmony with natural cycles.
PLA stands for the modern era of additive manufacturing. It is the symbiosis of state-of-the-art additive manufacturing and the vision of a world where industrial objects can once again become part of natural cycles.
While our metal editions reference the history of architecture, the PLA Edition represents the technological avant-garde. It is a tribute to the possibilities that new, sustainable materials offer us today – a piece of "tomorrow's design".
Interior Design Guide – Style & Atmosphere
The WordClock Jupiter PLA Edition offers more than just a time display – it is a design object. Thanks to our special printing process, we can design the front in various looks that significantly determine the character of the space.
Phantom Slate -
Nature Impulse
Inspired by the earthy layers of nature. Slate stands for durability and tranquility. Since we humans are evolutionarily programmed to relax in natural environments, this motif acts as an anchor for stress levels. It grounds modern living spaces and creates an atmosphere of silence.
Phantom Wood -
Warmth and Security
A design that brings the forest into the room. The organic grain radiates warmth and breaks the coolness of technical devices. It transforms any workspace or living area into a sanctuary that radiates liveliness and softness.
Phantom Marble -
Classic Elegance
Marble has stood for aesthetics, luxury, and clarity for millennia. Interpreted in the PLA Edition, this motif looks lightweight and luxurious at the same time. It is the perfect choice for bright, puristic spaces that demand a noble yet subtle statement.
Phantom Beyond Space -
Fascination & Vastness
This motif plays with infinity. It is ideal for people looking for an outward view. Space brings a profound, visionary touch to the room and turns the clock into a "window" to another dimension – inspiring and profound.
Phantom Dark Forest -
Mysticism & Depth
Deep green and the texture of the forest have a calming yet mysterious effect. Dark Forest creates an exclusive, almost meditative atmosphere. It is the choice for spaces where concentration and relaxation are equally important.
Phantom Plain Gray -
Minimalistic Purity
The essence of design. Plain Gray is the "all-round talent" that blends into any interior without imposing itself. It stands for absolute objectivity and is the first choice for the modern, uncompromising minimalist.
Ready for the future of design?
For spaces with character, awareness, and a look that playfully redefines the boundaries between innovation and nature.
Interior Design – Modern Tech Minimalism
The PLA Edition fits perfectly into environments dominated by innovation and a clear, light design language.
The "Smart Home" look: It blends effortlessly into modern living environments – from bright, reduced interiors with glass and wood to dark, atmospheric rooms with a distinctive design character.
Thanks to its translucency, the PLA Edition is an absolute highlight, especially in darkened rooms. It acts less like a clock and more like a luminous element that seems to come directly out of the wall.
