“Amsterdam: where freedom is not just a concept, but a lifestyle.”

And truly, “In Amsterdam, even getting lost is a pleasure.” 🌫️✨

To all who joined us at our last market in front of the — thank you. Your presence and feedback have inspired us to craft a new, elevated design of our Amsterdam map collection.

We’re pleased to announce that this refined iteration will be available this Sunday, June 15th, at the Museumplein market in Amsterdam. You’ll find our work displayed alongside the official .design pin collection — a celebration of art, architecture, and thoughtful design.

We look forward to welcoming you. 🤍

Why the Black Pigeon?

When learning about our company, the inevitable question always arises: Why the Black Pigeon? The story began when we spotted a Black Pigeon on the office balcony while brainstorming for the startup’s name. Despite our ongoing pigeon problems, we paused to wonder—where do Black Pigeons come from? While some pigeons have natural dark pigments, most Black Pigeons today have developed due to pollution in urban areas. This fascinating adaptation highlights how the environment affects wildlife, not just in the wild but in our cities too. Did you know there are an estimated 1 million Black Pigeons worldwide? 🌍 This realization inspired us to focus on sustainability and conscious design.

Fast forward two years, and this is a reflection of our journey. 🕊️ At The Black Pigeon, we transform recycled plastic bottles into 95% recycled plastic pellets, which we use in the extrusion process for 3D printing filaments via comoanies in the Netherlands. These filaments enable us to create unique designs, like our beautiful vases, giving new life to waste materials while reducing landfill and incineration. Every vase not only serves as an art piece but also as a home for a new plant 🌱, extending the material's lifecycle and promoting a greener future.

Every print is carefully crafted, tailored to our customers, and designed to bring a touch of elegance to your home. 🖤 As part of our Monochrome Collection, we currently offer designs in monochrome colors, but if you're looking for something more custom, send us a DM, and we’ll make it happen!

Thank you to everyone who has supported The Black Pigeon from the very beginning. Here are some of our favorite designs, now featured on our webshop! 🕊️

Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much... 👏

As you know, we’ve been collaborating closely to bring this amazing new product to life. Here’s a first look at the prototype of our new city project! With .design

There’s still a lot to refine as we work towards scaling up the print and adding standout features to the frame, like lighting and a sleek metal plate to catch the eye of every passerby. 👀

While the process is crucial, it’s the final result we’re truly excited about, and we wanted to share our progress with all of you.

Special thanks to .design and Jaime Hernandez for supporting us on this journey!

This weekend, we had the pleasure of having our products in an event at Museumplein in Amsterdam, right next to the iconic Rijksmuseum, alongside the incredible brand Maraka Design. Known for crafting some of the finest enamel pins in town
design offers standout pieces with unique styles inspired in the Netherlands that we’re excited to soon feature on our website for both men and women.

Check out their page to explore more of their designs, and here’s a glimpse of some fantastic moments from the venue!

We have to admit...

One of the most satisfying parts of the 3D printing process is torching the prints once they're finished.

This quick flame treatment removes the tiny "hairs," or stringing, that are produced by the extrusion process of the filament, typically heated to around 230°C.

These small, unwanted strands form when the molten filament stretches as the print head moves. Passing a flame briefly over the surface cleanly removes these fine strings, enhancing the print's final appearance and giving it a smooth, professional look.

The tiny "hairs" in 3D prints form due to filament tension and stretching as the molten plastic is extruded and the nozzle moves.

When a quick flame is applied, it heats these thin strands rapidly, causing them to vaporize or melt away without affecting the main structure of the print. This process leaves a smooth surface by targeting only the delicate, unintended filaments.

This weekend our vases and designs will be displayed in Amsterdam ✖️✖️✖️
