Re Design
LIGHTEN UP, the lighting exhibition for this years 100%Design show in London by eco design group [re]design, looks beyond the bulb to explore an array of sustainable lighting strategies – including energy-efficient technology and design, sustainably sourced and recycled materials, lifecycle thinking and product-user relationships.
We featured [re]design’s [re]use examples like the Sun Jar and the Jar Jar lamp, as well as the Eco Desk Lamp and the Nesting Lamps under [re]store and [re]duce examples Circa and Plumen in Lighten Up Part 1 on TreeHugger. Today we’d like to talk a bit more about the categories [re]create and [re]cycle, and find out how pasta serves as a lampshade. Lamp photos and pasta lampshade recipe after the jump.

"The Plumen bulb uses 80% less energy and lasts 8 times longer than incandescent bulbs, giving you the opportunity to purchase an ecological product with style. It works just like any low energy bulb but it has a lot more presence." v100 Mod Box by Vincenz Saccento & Robert Antonio Mazzullo
