We combine the freedom of cutting-edge tools with the soul of handcraft.
Our founders, Alex, Josh and Diem, combine their backgrounds in industrial and product design, hand-craft, ceramics, model-making, and 3D-printing to create playful design objects for home.
We love the limitlessly playful design possibilities that 3D-printing brings.
3D-printing allows us to create intricate, customized designs that were once thought impossible. It means we can experiment with complex shapes, unique textures, and bold patterns without the constraints of traditional manufacturing and ceramics techniques. It encourages creativity, enabling us to innovate freely, ensuring that each piece we create is as unique and dynamic as the ideas that inspire it.
We bring the soul of hand craftsmanship to every piece.
While 3D printing allows for experimentation and creativity, we go beyond the automated process, adding a personal touch that makes each piece unique. We meticulously refine, hand-finish, glaze and personalize our ceramic pieces, hand-pour our candles, and hand-cut our coasters, ensuring they carry the warmth, authenticity, and story that only true craftsmanship and decades of expertise can provide.
We aim to make great design accessible—and good for our planet.
We believe that great design shouldn't be a luxury; it should be something everyone can experience, appreciate, and afford. That's why we print using sustainable materials, prioritize eco-friendly production methods such as 3D printing, and reduce waste and use recyclable materials wherever possible—for example in our packaging and shipping materials.
We also love working on custom projects!
We love to partner with fellow makers on everything from one-of-a-kind pieces to full product collections. Have an idea? Even if it's just a scribble in your sketchbook, let's chat!

Materials
We 3D-print our planters and coaster trays using Polylactic Acid (PLA) filament. PLA is a natural polyester that is derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane. It is recyclable, and biodegradable under certain industrial conditions.
We make our felt coasters using merino wool felt. Merino wool is a durable, easy to clean and naturally moisture-resistant fiber. It is also renewable, Oeko-Tex® Certified, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly.
Our ceramic pieces are 3D-printed using clay. We use a variety of clays commonly used in many traditional ceramics techniques such as throwing and hand-building.
We make our candles using coconut wax, a natural, renewable, and biodegradable wax made from coconut oil or coconut meat. All of our candle fragrance oils are free of phthalates, parabens, SLS and SLES.
We're a small studio and make all our products by hand (and with the help of our 3D-printers), so we don't carry bulk inventory. Most orders will be ready to ship out within 2 business days, but if you're looking for a larger quantity it might take a dar or two longer for us to have it all ready for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to us at hello@volumegoods.co for more details.
We currently ship to the United States and Canada only—new destinations to be announced soon!
