There are many brilliant examples of what upcycling is truly all about, and the Lotus pendant light perfectly fits that description. The organic shape of this 96 Lotus pendant light draws its core inspiration from natural plants. Measuring 16” in diameter and 10” high, this remarkable piece utilizes exactly 96 six-pack rings, resulting in a fixture that weighs less than 3 pounds.
Weaving the Lotus Pendant Light from Six-Pack Rings
Using a technique that took over a year and a half to fully develop, the plastic six-pack rings are painstakingly hand-woven together to form continuous strands. This smart method completely eliminates the need for any adhesives or additional materials to bind the rings. Once woven, these strands are tightly strung onto metal lamp rings. Finally, UL wiring parts and a Philips AmbientLED light bulb complete this highly original Lotus pendant light design.
A huge sustainable advantage is that at the end of its lifecycle, every single component of the lamp can be deconstructed easily for further upcycling or standard recycling.
