Questions & answers

I work with two methods. The Lövet-series kitchen products are CNC-milled from stave-glued solid oak – every piece gets its own grain. (If you'd like something in fully solid oak, that's available as a special order.) The 3D-printed objects are made in different plastics, and which one was used is always stated on the product page: standard PLA (a clean surface with a light sheen, my eight standard colours), silk PLA (glossy and shimmering – in two- and three-colour versions it shifts colour as you turn the object), matte PLA (completely matte, reflects no light) and PETG (tougher, handles heat and wear better).

No. Every 3D-printed object is built up layer by layer, and on each pass the print head has to start and stop somewhere. That leaves a fine vertical line – a seam. On most of my forms it's hidden in the pattern or along an edge, but on some geometries it falls on an open surface and shows more clearly – especially on the glossy silk finishes. It affects neither durability nor function. Think of it like the grain in a wooden cutting board: a small mark that each object is made individually, not cast in a mould. If a seam ever sits really awkwardly – get in touch and I'll put it right.

It's the two- or three-colour silk PLA that does it. The colour you see depends on the angle you view the object from – turn the vase and the surface shifts between its tones. So it isn't the light that changes the colour, but your angle to it. Single-colour silk PLA has a lovely sheen but doesn't shift like this. The effect is almost impossible to capture in a photo; it only comes alive when you hold the vase and turn it.

Technically yes, but never in spirit. Wood grain, the play of the silk surface and small traces of the process make every piece its own.

Yes. The vases are double-walled and hold water and flowers. Each vase is printed layer by layer, so if against expectations you notice a drop making its way through – get in touch and I'll put it right.

They're oiled by hand with food-grade hardwax oil and ready to use straight away. Wash by hand, never in the dishwasher, and re-oil now and then when the wood starts to feel dry – that way they'll last for years.

Over time the wood roughens a little, especially where you rinse it – the grain lifts and the surface feels rougher. That's completely normal. Just sand gently with a fine sandpaper (grit 180 or finer) before you oil it. The surface comes up as new, and a good deal of the knife marks from the cutting board disappear into the bargain.

Yes, the surface is food-grade – cutting boards, snack bowls and butter boards are made to be used.

Yes, on every product except the vases. On the wooden products the text is engraved into the wood, the mini crates can carry your own text on the sides, and the name-texts are the product itself – built entirely from your text. How much text fits varies by product, and the price follows the amount of text.

Absolutely – that's half the point of StuffDust. Tell me your idea via Tell me about your idea, and I'll come back with a suggestion, a sketch and a price. A simpler custom piece starts from around SEK 800. A design fee of SEK 500 applies for a sketch and quote, which is deducted if you choose to order.

Yes – with two or more of the same product you get a 20% volume discount, calculated automatically in the order.

Most things are made to order. You'll get a delivery estimate within 1–2 working days, and normal delivery time is 5–7 working days (vases in a special colour 2–3 weeks). In a hurry? An express order can be arranged for a 30% surcharge – get in touch before you order.

Payment is made via Swish (a Swedish payment app) once you've received an order confirmation. Production begins when payment has gone through. (Card payment may come later on.)

The 3D-printed objects are decorative – not toys – and should be kept out of reach of small children, as smaller parts can pose a choking hazard and the plastic isn't intended for mouth contact. The wooden products have a food-grade surface and are fine with food. If you have a product in mind for a child's room, do get in touch and I'll point you the right way.

Personalised products (with your own text, engraving or other customisation) are unique to you – so there's no right of withdrawal on these. A standard item without personalisation, e.g. a vase in one of the standard colours, has a 14-day right of withdrawal under the Swedish Distance Contracts Act. And if something is damaged in transit or is my mistake, I'll of course put it right. See the terms for details.
