A lithophane is a 3D-printed artwork that reveals its full beauty when backlit. What looks like a simple grayscale panel transforms into a vivid and detailed image once light shines through it. Every shadow and highlight is captured in depth – turning your memories into glowing works of art.
Bring Memories to Light
At first glance, it’s just a photo.
But when lit from behind, it becomes a glowing memory — full of warmth, depth, and life.
Each RYMIA lithophane is handcrafted and can be fully personalized.
Whether it’s a photo of your loved ones, your favorite city, or a moment that shaped you — we turn it into timeless light art.
A story told not with words, but with light.
Let your memories shine.
"Some memories are too special to stay in the dark — let them shine."
– Kilian, Founder of Rymia
From Challenges to Triumph: Bringing Our Vision to Life
About us RYMIA
It all began with a single Bambu Lab A1 Combo printer and a spark of curiosity. We experimented, tested, and explored countless ideas — until the vision for RYMIA took shape: to share the beauty of decorative 3D images, also known as lithophanes, with the world. Our goal? To offer unique gifts and timeless keepsakes that transform cherished memories into art illuminated by light.
The road here wasn’t smooth. After adding our second printer, we faced unexpected breakdowns. By the end of July, we had grown to three A1 printers and ordered a Mini A1 — only for one AMS unit to fail, taking its printer with it. Just days later, our second AMS broke as well.
But we refused to let setbacks define us.
We rolled up our sleeves, repaired everything, and kept pushing forward toward our launch date of September 1st.
Today, our production runs with four printers — three A1s and one Mini A1 — supported by two AMS units working day and night. Every challenge we’ve faced has made us stronger, more determined, and more committed to our mission.
RYMIA is, at its heart, a family project, created and run by me, Kilian (Founder), together with my mother. It’s our shared dream, our shared effort, and our shared belief that something made with care and love can truly brighten someone’s life.
We’re proud to say our printers are powered by a solar array, helping us create responsibly from the very start. And we’re working to ensure all the necessary certifications are in place, so we can launch with confidence, quality, and care.
RYMIA isn’t just a project — it’s a promise. A promise to create with passion, to overcome obstacles with resilience, and to bring our community something truly special.
On September 1st, we invite you to be part of our first chapter. Together, we can turn challenges into light.

Our Updates at RYMIA
Personalization Progress
Personalization Progress
We’re making big strides toward offering personalized lithophanes — turning your own memories into illuminated works of art. To ensure the highest quality, images will need to be at least 300 DPI or 2 MP in resolution. We’re also working on an automated solution to streamline the customization process, so ordering will be as smooth as the final print.
Expanding Production
We’re planning to increase our stock of backlight boards, allowing us to produce more lithophanes and make them available to a wider audience.
Building Our Community
RYMIA is more than just a project — it’s a growing community. We want to connect with people who share our passion for art, light, and meaningful design. Every like, share, and message helps us grow and fuels the journey ahead.
Raising the Bar: Working Towards RoHS Certification
Your trust means everything to us. That’s why we’re not only focused on creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind lithophanes, but also on ensuring they meet the highest safety and quality standards.
We’re proud to share that we’ve officially initiated the process with TÜV SÜD to obtain RoHS certification. This certification ensures that our products are free from hazardous substances and meet strict European environmental and safety requirements.
Only a handful of creators in our field take the time and effort to go through this process — and we’re determined to be one of them.
For us, it’s more than a technical milestone; it’s a promise to our community. A promise that every piece we create is not only crafted with care and passion, but also with your safety and the planet in mind.
We’ll keep you updated on our progress. Your support fuels every step of this journey, and together, we’re building something we can all be proud of.
