This lamp was made entirely from other people's trash, which I scavenged from curbsides and dumpsters. The project was inspired by the socio-economic inequality in the design world as well as the open design movement.​​​​​​​
The frame of the lamp is laser-cut recycled chipboard, and the panes are used boba straws. The socket was taken from an old lamp and the cord and plug were cut from an old television.​​​​​​​
The lamp can rest on any of its faces, for variations in form and light tint and intensity.

The replicable design can be found on Instructables.com here.
