Designer Janne Kyttänen focused on the issue of global warming with this [lamp design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-lamp) named the &#147;Riot&#148;.

The Riot was made by taking the whole life-cycle of a product into consideration, therefore using less storage, transportation, material, labor, etc.

Parts of the lamp are made of [recycled items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apeel) and it works only with Megaman energy-saving bulbs.

A very cool design with a very important message, the idea behind the lamp concept is to inspire people to think about the waste around us, and about [saving energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-lamp-series).

The barbed wire certainly adds impact to her message!
