Drinking packages are an ubiquitous part of our daily lives, yet they pose significant environmental challenges when discarded. Graphic designer Niels Craens spent years researching the hidden advantages and disadvantages of this common packaging material. Searching for an illuminating solution to this immense waste stream, he created the brilliant Enjoy Twice package lamp. Niels effortlessly transforms a problematic object into an ingenious lighting statement by turning the negative into a glowing positive.
Illuminating the Hidden Message inside the Enjoy Twice package Lamp
The magic of this Enjoy Twice
package
lamp design lies in his specific use of packages that lack an inner aluminium layer. When the lamp is switched on, the playful words ‘Enjoy Twice’ shine softly through the translucent drinking package. This demonstrates exactly what the upcycle movement strives for: converting overlooked materials into highly desirable products of improved aesthetic value. If you appreciate the versatility of this recycled material, you will definitely want to explore these 11 upcycle design ideas using cardboard or perhaps marvel at the robust MC 302 Amazing Cardboard Armchair by Nordwerk!
