Cardboard Lamps

Cardboard is now one of the most popular materials used in the design of accessories for the home and furniture.

Functional and economical material, it is also aesthetically attractive, both for the novelty and unexpected juxtaposition, for the usability which allows, in the various fields.
We have seen many times examples of sessions also corrugated cardboard, but today I speak about lights.

We start with the table lamp Lumbrera, created by the Spanish team Sanserif CREATIUS. A product of the Alpha collection, cardboard 100% ecological, with light source consists of four LED spotlights, handcrafted and available in limited release.

The shape is inspired typefaces, playing in a tiny and its name comes from Latin and means, a body that emits light source. Distributed from the month of February, will be available at the showroom of decorator Madrid Marta Garcia.

Also interesting is the pendant lamp in cardboard Leonardo, created by Antoni Arola for Santa & Cole. A set of strips of cardboard, huddled around a stainless steel frame, with powerful light source inside. Each strip is wrapped individually and in This way you can get customized lamps. Also available with stylish striped maple wood, has a shape reminiscent of the classic Scandinavian lighting, with clean lines and formal.

The magician of corrugated Giles Miller and its thousands of applications, here instead Flute Pendant. Created with the collective farm, the suspension lamp is the result of an innovative process of cardboard, with finishing grooves.

Most of the production is handmade, using a knife to numerical control to cut the cardboard into strips and then a subsequent rolling of the same.

The Curious floral pattern staked is instead made with a hacksaw, and refilled with a piece of material and size, but with opposite corrugations.

Finally, here Kandelaber, a cardboard chandelier high quality, laser cut, produced by the young Swiss designer Tobias Kyburz, along with Joao Almeida.

And one of the elements that make up his collection of luxury formats, played with a seemingly poor but innovative materials, such as corrugated cardboard.
Kandelaber is a kit consisting of a cable holder and you're just like a classic candlestick. To assemble it are not necessary glue or other materials, but simply fit together in the appropriate cuts the various parts that compose it.

Also interesting Kartonklunker, the ceiling version.

If you are looking for something elegant, Helene, R. Gunther & F. Hefne for Him + Her is what she does for you. A lamp innovative, environmentally friendly with lamellar structure, composed of 24 lamellae in paper and cardboard, which thanks to a certain type of treatment, are stiffened in the shapes and subsequently laser cut. Despite the treatments, you should not use it outdoors, in addition to using energy saving light bulbs also not overly heating.

This lamp also won the famous prize RED DOT DESIGN AWARD thanks to the high quality of the product and the production methods used to produce it.

Scrap lights instead of graypants Studio, is a lamp made with corrugated cardboard, high aesthetic quality. Not only recycling, at the base of this product, but interesting plays of light, generated due to the rings in cardboard of different thicknesses, are used to create shades are always different.

Willy Dilly by Ingo Maurer instead, is a hanging lamp that does not use standard carton, but a solution translucent, white, with a cable of a different length, from 200 to 450 cm and of a form of variable lampshade. Interesting twist to the game, which also generates different effects of light and shadow, without creating too much bother for direct light. Ingo Maurer took its cue from the result, seen in a bar, due to humidity on the paper used to cover a simple light bulb.

If you want something strictly made in Italy and maybe even eco-friendly, here's Cartoon, a hanging lamp that is typical of the features of a cartoon.

Created by the eclectic designer Roberto Giacomucci, cardboard fire retardant and 100% recyclable, is available in three versions, depending on the number of lights: 45 cm in diameter with three lights, 35 cm in diameter with two lights, and a small light with 25 cm in diameter.
Design ironic, playful and very particularly ideal for both local and public environments, perhaps in series, both bedrooms and the most intimate, in the single version.

Finally, we point out two gems: if you love the packaging and basically every time you see the cardboard, you can not stop thinking about the boxes, then Not a Box and Not a Lamp, Dutchman David Graas, you will like for sure. An eco-friendly solution, essential, responsible and undoubtedly pleasant, based on the idea of lamp whose packaging is the lamp. Simple cuts and a light bulb, provide infinite variations and if you wish, customizations.

An overview of products so complete as to include a work of art as that made by Maddalena Forenza. The designer has designed a lamp that represents the perfect fusion of glass and cardboard.

A project started by a simple applique, made in the studio / atelier Perugia Moretti Castelli, using a sharp knife, then transformed into an object more solid, thanks to the collaboration with the 'B-Trade company, specializing in gifts and packaging in corrugated cardboard.
