The lamp is 25 cm high when closed and 40 cm when fully raised, with a width and depth of 7 cm. The electrical parts of the LED light source are hidden inside. The intent is to present wood craftsmanship and a calming sensation.

Aggregate Lamp

Aggregate

Aggregate is a collection of three floor lamps made from recycled and discarded materials. Each lamp is built on a welded skeleton formed from discarded steel scraps. The body is sculpted by hand from a mixture of concrete, silica sand and shredded plastic bottles, applied over a thin alkali-resistant fiber base. The concrete mixture is worked like clay rather than cast in a mould, so each lamp has its own texture and silhouette. LED tube bulbs supply the light, and a step switch at the base turns each lamp on and off. The collection aims to give urban waste a new use.
