Here’s another fine example of what upcycling is all about. The shape of the 96 Lotus pendant light draws inspiration from plants. 16” in diameter, 10” high, and using 96 six-pack rings, the light weighs less than 3lb. Using a technique that took over a year and a half to develop the six-pack rings are hand-woven together to form strands. This eliminates the use of new materials or adhesives to connect the six-pack rings together. The strands are then strung on metal lamp rings. UL wiring parts and a Philips AmbientLED light bulb complete the pendant light.

At the end of its lifecycle, each lamp can be deconstructed easily for upcycling or recycling.
