STARDUST LAMP . 2021

Stardust responds to a challenge: how to create a functional and appealing lamp from resin waste generated by my practice?

Through research, I learned that reincorporating resin waste into the same material is the most sustainable approach to reuse it. This will enable future pyrolysis recycling of the lamp, contributing to a circular design.

Aesthetically, I wanted to experiment with light by combining the transparency of resin with the glittering particles of waste, and so the Stardust lamp was born.

The lamp's shape is a simple interplay of geometrical forms. A delicate and celestial brightness is diffused through thin resin waste particles suspended throughout the eco resin body, adding life and depth to the new eco-resin that encapsulates it.

The resin waste mix is poured in stages resulting in deposit lines featuring on the lamp's surface.

At the core of this luminary runs a red aluminium spine, LED ring and fabric cord. The brightness of Stardust is controlled by a Bluetooth dimmer installed via an app on your phone for your convenience.

The Stardust lamp embodies circular design practices while creating a warm and evocative atmosphere.
