The Paper Pulp Lamp

It's a fact that you receive a lot of packaging when you buy a new appliance. Whether it is a computer, television or lamp. You're always in for a load of packaging materials that are, in general, not so good for the environment.

On behalf of the environment the extremely bright British design student David Gardener designed something cool for his graduation assignment. The Paper Pulp Lamp.

This is what the packaging looks like. And here it comes, the packaging is in fact the lamp! When someone buys the lamp they get a package which looks like this. The only thing the end-user has to do is move the electronic parts around for a bit, fold the set and plug the cord in.

And here it is. The Paper Pulp Lamp in a fully functioning state. Gardener said his design was inspired upon the packaging industry that uses paper pulp for it's product (paper pulp is recycled paper). And that the underlying idea was to create a lamp existing solely out of it's own packaging.

Nice!
