pHere’s a project that’s “born from the trash and returned to the trash.” After a short, but useful lifecycle, a href=”http://victorvetterlein.com/home.html”Victor Vetterlein’s/a Trash Me lamps can be returned to the trash/recycling stream from where they came. Each lamp is made from four, pulped to bits egg-carton and hand smoothed over a mold. After a few days of drying, the lamp is assembled section by section with aluminum screw posts. In the desk lamp, a sack of bird seed nestled in its base provides stability./p

pOnce you’re through with it, Trash Me can be disassembled and dumped into the recycling bin for further transformation and reuse./p
