OUR PROCESS
DESIGN
Every Senmu night light begins not with perfection —
but with persistence.
Behind each tiny shophouse design lies countless hours of sketching, modeling, printing, and failing. Windows too thin. Roofs that warped. Details lost to overhangs. We’ve restarted and re-printed more times than we can count — because we believe every detail matters.
From the curve of a Peranakan archway to the shadow behind a column — each feature has been tested, refined, and reimagined, again and again.
It's not just 3D printing.
It’s craft with care, built layer by layer — just like the real shophouses were.
Because heritage deserves more than a copy —
It deserves dedication.
Sustainably Crafted, Meaningfully Made
At Senmu, every shophouse night light is more than just a nostalgic piece — it’s also a conscious choice for the future.
We use PLA (polylactic acid) filament, a plant-based bioplastic made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, PLA is biodegradable under industrial conditions and has a much lower environmental footprint.
By choosing PLA, we’re choosing:
A renewable, eco-friendly material
A smooth, detailed finish ideal for architectural forms
Less waste in the printing process
We believe in honouring the past through design, and the future through sustainability.
> Senmu — Where tradition meets conscious craft.
Thoughtful Glow, Powered by Simplicity
Each Senmu night light is fitted with a USB-powered 5V 3W LED spotlight, designed for both efficiency and ambiance.
USB Powered — Easy to plug into any power bank, adapter, or laptop
3W LED — Energy-saving and long-lasting
Dimmable — Adjust brightness to match your mood
We chose this lighting solution to complement the warm nostalgia of each piece — providing just the right soft, focused glow to bring your shophouse to life without overpowering your space.
> Modern convenience meets timeless design.
