Following its most successful year since launching in 2020, Brooklyn-based lighting design studio Wooj is set to significantly expand its catalogue in 2025 with the introduction of monthly collections. This ambitious initiative will see the brand more than double their product offerings, unveiling a new line up each month that builds upon its signature blend of sustainability, cutting-edge 3D printing, and innovative design. If these upcoming releases reflect the same ingenuity as past collections, design enthusiasts can expect a year filled with bold creations that push the boundaries of modern lighting. With the January and February collections already released, Wooj has set the stage for a year of continuous experimentation and fresh design perspectives.

For their January drop, Wooj is leaning into textures found in nature and biomorphic forms inspired by previous designs. The new Coral Lamp takes inspiration from the cerebral-looking brain coral, as well as the one-of-a-kind pattern of a fingerprint. The lamp’s intricate surface was generated using AI and then meticulously reconstructed in modeling software. This gives the lamp a tactile, sculptural effect that evokes the rarity of holding a piece of coral.

In its third partnership with designer Christopher Merchant, Wooj introduces the Baleine Lamp inspired by the majestic Baleen Whale. This piece explores the interplay between the inner and outer layers of recycled plastic, creating a fluid, organic form that highlights the material potential for transformation.

Rounding out the January drop, the Echo Sconce builds on the success of Wooj’s best-selling Helios Sconce; this time with a renter-friendly plug-in design with a striking concentric circle motif, offering both versatility and dimmable functionality. The precise spacing of the circles enhances the diffusion of light, creating a soft, ambient glow.

For its February drop, Wooj continues its exploration of materiality and form with a collection that refines past ideas while introducing bold new silhouettes. Leading the lineup is the Mini Allium Lamp, a scaled-down version of one of Wooj’s best sellers, the Allium Lamp by Christopher Merchant. Despite its smaller footprint, this little fixture makes a big impression, offering the same sculptural presence in a more compact form. Its size makes it an ideal choice for bedside tables, shelves, or any space in need of a subtle but striking glow.

A collaboration with Walmen Dumaliang, the Prima Lamp captivates from every angle. When illuminated, its translucent finish diffuses a soft, ambient light, highlighting its geometric, radially arrayed layers that flow seamlessly from shade to base. This poetic interplay between light and shadow makes Prima as much a sculptural object as it is a functional fixture.

Rounding out the collection, the Lotus Lamp designed by Jason Wu Bergeron features a multi-functional element to its design: its shade can be positioned in either orientation, allowing the user to direct light upwards or downwards. This simple yet clever feature creatives a subtle shift in ambiance, making it easy to adapt the lighting to different moods and spaces.

The January and February collections offer a glimpse into the studio’s evolving design language – one that merges organic inspiration with cutting-edge technology. As each month brings new additions to the catalog, Wooj continues to redefine modern lighting, proving that thoughtful design can be both experimental and accessible. If these first two releases is any indication, 2025 is shaping up to be the brand’s most exciting year yet.
