Bottle-Molded Brighteners

The Metamorfozis Desk Lamps are Modeled on Melted Plastic Containers

— December 18, 2013 — Eco
These charming Metamorfozis Desk Lamps are wonderful eco-friendly creations, making use of recycled and recyclable materials throughout the manufacturing process and in their final designs. Their quirky components compose cheerful light fixtures that will brighten up your desk in appearance and principle.

The Crea-re Studio uses paper pulp for the unique lampshades, and a surprising type of mold to give them their curious shapes. Heat is applied to plastic bottles, causing them to contort into all sorts of rippling textures. These make unique and oddly organic-looking frameworks for setting and drying the illumination diffusers. Additional delightful features of the Metamorfozis Desk Lamps are their blue-painted wooden bases, their stripey cords, their easy adaptability and simple assembly.
