About the Item

The Moona light sculpture is designed by Jakob Uhlin for By Republiken—a stunning artisan creation made from paper and recycled plastics. This pendant lamp features a silk paper exterior supported by a locally sourced and handmade sheet of recycled plastic. The lamp's geometric triangular components deliver a captivating, faceted aesthetic that creates an intriguing visual effect. Light is uniquely diffused from various angles, offering a dynamic illumination experience. THE PRODUCTION PROCESS Our production process begins with the collection of used polypropylene containers, commonly found in food packaging. After a thorough cleaning, we grind these containers into plastic granules, which are then remelted through heat and pressure into thin sheets. The resulting plastic has a beautiful marbled and swirling appearance. This method creates unique patterns reminiscent of natural designs. The colors and pattern of the light sculptures are influenced by the characteristics of the original containers. For the Moona light sculpture, we specifically select white and transparent plastic containers, resulting in sheets that evoke the beauty of a blizzard or the surface on the moon. These remelted plastic sheets are covered on both sides with semi-transparent paper, creating a poetic and visually stunning finish. Using a hand-driven punch, we meticulously cut the triangular building pieces from the remelted sheets. This sustainable process revitalizes materials that would otherwise be discarded, resulting in a one-of-a-kind lamp sculpture. Each piece is distinct, featuring unique internal imagery that enhances its character and charm. We build each lamp by hand by connecting the building pices together in specific patterns. CUSTOMIZABLE If you’re interested in a variation or customization that is not currently listed, please inquire directly so we can discuss your specifications. Size, color and shape are variables that can be customized. The images displaying the smaller globular and pyramid shapes can give you an idea of the versatility of colors and shapes. BESPOKE We are open to designing and creating fully customized pieces. Please contact us if you'd like to learn more. Note that with regards to the customizable and bespoke options, the pricing and the production lead time is tailored based on the complexity level and size of the desired lamp. MORE We always check the triangular pieces to ensure their overall quality. There might be natural imperfections as part of the use of the recycled materials. We always send spare triangular pieces if you want to change some of the pieces.

The Shelley Light Sculpture, by Jakob Uhlin for By Republiken
By By Republiken, Jakob Uhlin
Located in Grythyttan, SE
The Shelley Light, by Jakob Uhlin for By Republiken is artisanally made of recycled plastic. The triangular components constituting the pendant lamp create a captivating and faceted appearance, offering an intriguing visual impression. The lamp's three openings add a compelling three-dimensional aspect to its design. Light diffuses uniquely from various angles, providing a dynamic illumination experience. An inner shade, crafted from the same triangular building pieces, shields the light source. Our process involves collecting used household containers made of polypropylene plastics, commonly used for food containers. After thorough washing, a hand-driven punch is employed to meticulously cut out the triangular building pieces from these recycled plastic containers. This sustainable process gives new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. Every lamp sculpture is unique because each one features different images on their inside.
