It explores designs in alignment with ecological themes as well. This results in a [suspension lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light) that is both decorative and functional. The most notable element of the lamp is that it is 100% recyclable with a [dual lampshade structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp). The Air Light evokes a warm light to create a calming ambiance by casting light and shadow through its engraved laser cuts. The entire process of the Air Light is [sustainable from production](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern) all the way to its packaging. The body of the light is constructed from Green cast and can be recycled or even tossed in a landfill.
