Lighting from Recycled Utensils

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

‘Gluttony'

— December 3, 2008 — Eco
Luis Luna's 'Gluttony' suspension lamp is a woven web comprised of plastic eating utensils that gives a plastic disco-ball effect when turned on.

'Gluttony' is both an example of attractive recycled lighting and a social statement on our relationship with food.

The 'Gluttony' lamp by Luis Luna was a finalist in the Designboom “House Party” competition and was exhibited at 100% Design Tokyo.
