Acceptance Portfolio: Project 4

Lumos Recycled Lighting august 2009

Every year, the US alone creates over 200 million tons of trash. Designers, as well as others, have taken it upon themselves to reduce the amount of waste by reusing and repurposing “trash”. I decided to design a lamp out of something recycled and unexpected. By using venetian blinds, which block light, to create a light fixture that gives off light, is a contradiction in itself. Designing by recycling reduces waste and at the same time creates something unusual.
