Lithophane cubes
A lamp with four of your photos printed into its sides. The pictures appear when the light is switched on. Choose a frame colour, upload your photos and we'll print and post it.
What is a lithophane?
A lithophane is a photo turned into a thin sheet of translucent plastic. Thicker areas block more light and show as dark; thinner areas let light through. With the lamp off you see a plain white panel. Switch it on and your photo appears.
Our cubes are printed in PLA, a plastic made from plants such as corn and sugarcane.
Good photos to choose
- Faces close up rather than far away
- Bright, sharp photos without heavy filters
- Simple backgrounds
- Landscape or portrait both work; we crop to a square
