The Shelley Light Sculpture, by Jakob Uhlin for By Republiken

About the Item

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. 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. The two images displaying black and gold light sculptures serve as illustrations of the possibilities when opting for fully customized pieces. 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. Some could have a bit bleached appearance. We always send spare triangular pieces if you want to change some of the pieces.
