# Trashy Lamps The Trashlight from Craighton Berman Saves Space in Your Place By Michael Hines | Published 2010-06-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighton-berman References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/trashlight-crazy-combination-garbage-can-floor-lamp/) & [craightonberman](http://www.craightonberman.com/) The Trashlight from industrial designer Craighton Berman is genius. To say that the Trashlight is overdue would be an understatement. The Craighton Berman 'Trashlight' was created as a conversational piece, but I still think it could be made into a viable piece of furniture/waste bin. Having a trash can combined with a lamp would be a dream come true for people living in places where space is at a premium.
