STARDUST LAMP

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.

Stardust lamp was designed following open source principles and the construction process is documented here and available to the broader design community. With this mindset, we’re hoping to speed the design industry's transition to a circular economy.
