Icyl is a one-person 3D printing studio making sculptural furniture and décor, from a basement workshop just outside London.
The first time I used a 3D printer was during a university module. The sheer range of what you could create with one machine completely took over me.
I'd always been interested in scaling things up and seeing how objects look and behave at different sizes. A 3D printer felt like the perfect tool for that. So in 2025, I set one up in a basement just outside London and started building.
The first large-scale build proved it could work. It had real weight, real structure, and a finish that didn't look or feel like plastic. Icyl exists because those pieces deserved to end up in someone's home, not just sitting on a workbench.
Est. 2025 · London, UKThere's no assembly line. Each piece goes through the same process, from raw filament to something you'd actually want in your room.
A coffee table is printed across 16 or more sections, bonded with structural filler, and reinforced inside with metal rods. These hold weight. They're furniture, not ornaments.
After assembly, the whole surface gets coated, sanded through progressive grits, and primed. This is where it stops looking printed and starts looking sculpted. Slow work, but you can see the difference.
Colour goes on with spray, airbrush, and brush for the details. Then multiple coats of clear lacquer, cured over days. The end result looks and feels nothing like a 3D print.
"People don't know it's 3D printed until I tell them. That's when I know the finish is right. The printer does its job in hours. I do mine in weeks."
