# Recycled Furniture Lamp Made from Books By Bamboo Magazine | Published 2011-04-19 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-books-booklamp References: [bomdesign.nl](http://www.bomdesign.nl/productshop/boeklampen.html) Dutch design house Bomdesign features the Booklamp, a beautiful [lamp fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-lamp) made from recycled books. The books are re-shaped into [a variety of shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito), though the light emitted is likely not suitable for reading. More art than fixture, the Booklamp starts at 200 euros. **Implications** - In addition to being stylish, products like this have the two-fold advantage of reducing the carbon footprint of the companies that make them while simultaneously raising awareness about the fragility of the earth and its ecosystems. Products made from [recycled materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corium-standing-floor-lamp) will continue to become increasingly important as consumer awareness about the environment keeps increasing, so any company looking to stay at the forefront has an imperative responsibility to deliver them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Recycled Furniture:** Companies should explore creating furniture items from recycled materials as people become more aware of sustainability. - **Book Art:** Art and design products made from books offer a unique and sustainable way to repurpose old books. - **Eco-design:** Eco-design will continue to shape the future of the design industry, with an emphasis on environmentally-friendly solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** The furniture industry has an opportunity to explore creating products from recycled materials. - **Art and Design:** Art and design companies can explore new ways of repurposing materials, such as using books to create unique and sustainable products. - **Sustainability:** As people become more aware of sustainability, industries across the board are taking steps to deliver eco-friendly solutions, including the design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Plant-Based Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-lamp.md) - [Glowing Organic-Waste Sustainable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova-terra.md) - [Urban Debris-Crafted Portable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remli.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Reversed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolve-lamp.md) - [Modern Marble Waste Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sole-lamp.md)
