WonderLuk.com ([1]) was an online fashion marketplace that sold on-demand 3D-printed fashion accessories and jewellery.[2] In 2017, WonderLuk's founders announced that they would be discontinuing the brand owing to limited market interest.[3]
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[4] 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[5] and metals such as sterling silver, titanium and 18k gold.[6] The founders take a strong stance against overproduction and mass-produced fashion.[7] [8] 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.[9] WonderLuk was nominated for the 3D Printshow Global Awards 2014.[10]
In August 2015, WonderLuk opened the first pop-up store for 3D-printed jewellery in Europe [11] and in November 2015, WonderLuk collaborated with Topshop to open a 3D-printed accessories pop-up store at their Oxford Circus branch.[12]
