History

The company was based in London and was founded by Roberta Lucca and Andre Schober in 2013 before it was launched in April 2014. WonderLuk have sold 3D-printed bracelets, brooches, necklaces, rings, earrings, bow ties[3] and smartphone cases. The designs have been created by architects, product and jewellery designers from around the world. All products are made to order in a location close to the customer using distributed manufacturing. The products are currently made from nylon using selective laser sintering[4] and metals such as sterling silver, titanium and 18k gold.[5] The founders take a strong stance against overproduction and mass-produced fashion.[6][7] In a recent interview one of the co-founders stated that "the era of customisation had begun" and predicted that fashion customers in the future will want totally customised items, instantly delivered to their homes.[8] WonderLuk was nominated for the 3D Printshow Global Awards 2014.[9] In August 2015, WonderLuk opened the first pop-up store for 3D-printed jewellery in Europe [10] and in November 2015, WonderLuk collaborated with Topshop to open a 3D-printed accessories pop-up store at their Oxford Circus branch.
