Description
The Ecoluce table lamp was conceived as a contemporary design piece that seamlessly blends into elegant interiors while embracing a sustainable approach.
Crafted entirely from recycled materials, it repurposes elements commonly found in household waste, such as a discarded fruit crate, rubber bands, stones, and parchment paper. The structure is assembled using nails and glue, ensuring both stability and a raw, handcrafted aesthetic. Thanks to a clever balance of weights and elastic components, the lamp can be adjusted into multiple positions, offering versatility in both function and form
Prototype
The prototyping process began by carefully disassembling a discarded fruit crate, repurposing its wooden components for the lamp’s structure.
Using a cutter and a small drill, the individual pieces were cut to size, glued, and clamped for proper adhesion. Once dry, they were refined through sanding and perforated where necessary. To create the balancing weights, small compartments were filled with sand and securely sealed. The final assembly was completed using nails and glue, ensuring stability. Elastic bands were then added to enable adjustable positioning, and the lighting system was integrated, bringing the lamp to life.
Where waste becomes warmth and function, blending sustainability with design.
