# Lighting from Recycled Utensils ‘Gluttony' By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-12-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-from-recycled-utensils-gluttony References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/16811/) & [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/Gallery/Gluttony/119580) 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. **Implications** - Consumers are drawn to purchase unique pieces, especially when they are made from older products that would normally be thrown out and become a hinderance to the environment. These consumers are moved to purchase this type of product in an effort to minimize their carbon footprint and maintain their eco-conscious lifestyle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Recycled Lighting:** Creating lighting fixtures using recycled materials provides a unique and eco-conscious option for consumers. - **Upcycled Design:** Transforming everyday objects into innovative designs offers an opportunity for creative and sustainable products. - **Environmental Consciousness:** Consumers are increasingly seeking products that align with their eco-friendly values and reduce waste. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the popularity of recycled lighting by offering a wide range of sustainable and stylish lighting options. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can integrate upcycled design elements into their projects to create unique and environmentally friendly spaces. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Companies specializing in sustainable manufacturing can explore opportunities to repurpose discarded materials into innovative lighting products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upglas-collection.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Recycled Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zbozhzha-pendant-light.md) - [Glowing Organic-Waste Sustainable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova-terra.md) - [Recycled Material Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-cleo-lamp.md) - [Discarded Theater Screen Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discarded-theater-screen.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md)
