ORE Lamp

This table lamp exploits the structural properties of sheet felt and polypropylene to create a versatile lamp that can be positioned to serve different lighting need. Inspired by the book Cradle to Cradle by William McDonough, which discusses the idea of a circular economy, when the lamp is no longer needed, the materials can easily be split up into two types; those that can be composted and those that can be recycled, minimising waste. The environmental impact of consumerism is astronomical and it shows no signs of slowing down, so instead of trying to fight the tide of consumerism, why not design for it in a sustainable way?
