Before you ask
Some questions come up again and again. About materials, production, timing, returns, and what happens over time. We’ve answered them here as clearly and honestly as possible.
If something isn’t covered here, reach out to hello@mocamar.us. We won’t automate the answer. We’ll take the time it deserves.
What materials do you work with?
What materials do you work with?
Our primary material is PA6 filament derived from end-of-life fishing nets. Some objects are made entirely from this material, while others combine it with recycled PLA or recycled PETG where specific functional or structural properties are required. We work with suppliers that provide traceable, recycled material streams. All final products will be clearly labeled with their exact material composition.
Where are your products made?
Where are your products made?
Our objects are designed, developed and produced in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Production is based on additive manufacturing and hand assembly, allowing for close quality control and short supply chains. This approach prioritizes consistency, repairability, and long-term responsibility over mass production.

The first release is scheduled for June 2026.
The objects shown on this website represent finalized design directions and working prototypes. Instead of immediate purchasing, we’re offering a curated preview and an early-access waitlist. Some details are still being finalized. Approximate dimensions and material compositions are shown to give a clear sense of scale, form, and intent. Final specifications may vary slightly before production begins. Any confirmed details will be clearly stated before ordering opens.

How should I care for my lamp?
How should I care for my lamp?
Our objects are made to be used daily. Clean surfaces gently with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Always unplug electrical components before cleaning. Detailed care instructions will be included with every product.
What warranty will your products have?
What warranty will your products have?
The Mangrove comes with a 5-year limited warranty on the LED bulb and electrical components.
The lamp base and shade are covered by a 2-year limited warranty against material or manufacturing defects under normal use. If a covered issue occurs, we will repair or replace the affected part. If repair is not possible, we will replace the lamp.
The warranty does not cover accidental damage, improper handling, modifications, misuse, exposure to unsuitable conditions or normal wear over time.
The Mocamar Loop
After the warranty period, your lamp can still return to us through the Mocamar Loop.
Send the piece back, and we will evaluate whether parts can be repaired, reused or responsibly processed. In return, you receive a 25% credit toward your next Mocamar purchase.
This is our way of keeping materials in motion instead of treating a damaged object as the end of the story.
What about electrical components and safety?
What about electrical components and safety?
We use UL-listed electrical components from trusted American suppliers, including U.S.-made electrical parts and a U.S.-sourced LED bulb.
Each lamp is assembled with care and tested before shipping. We describe the safety status of the components clearly and do not claim certification for the full lamp beyond what has been tested and listed by the component manufacturers.
What is your return policy?
What is your return policy?
Return policies will apply once products are commercially released.
In general: returns will be accepted within 14 days after delivery. Products must be unused, undamaged, and returned in original packaging. Installed or modified products won’t be eligible for return.
What does the name Mocamar mean? How do I pronounce it?
What does the name Mocamar mean? How do I pronounce it?
Mocamar is pronounced mo-CA-mar. The name brings together two meanings that share the same origin: the sea.
“Mocama” refers to the Atlantic coastal dialect spoken by the Timucua people who lived along the northern Florida coast at the time of European arrival (around 1562). Historically, Mocama translates to “the ocean” or “from the ocean.”
“Mar” is Spanish for sea and reflects the founder’s roots, growing up on the coast of Catalonia in Calella, Spain. Mocamar treats the sea not as a symbol, but as an origin point - a place that has connected people, materials, and trade for centuries, and that now carries the consequences of modern consumption.
