It takes a minute to figure out what the abstract binary looking code is and how it is attached to the bulb--this eco lamp is made from recycled till receipts. French designer Elise Fouin has built a portfolio of obviously recycled objects--from recycled metal necklaces to lacy, snowflake like textiles but this minimal lamp is perhaps the simplest and the most elegant.
Implications - As a response to environmentally friendly attitudes, brands are looking to use sustainable materials for production.
