About the Item

The cardboard lamp and lamp shade designed by Gregory Van Pelt are exemplary pieces of sustainable and innovative design, showcasing the potential of everyday materials in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing home decor. The lamp itself is constructed entirely from sturdy, recycled cardboard, expertly cut and assembled to form a solid and stable base. The design embraces the natural textures and warm tones of the cardboard, highlighting the material's inherent beauty and versatility. The base features stack cylindrical cardboard between two pieces of wood, adding an artistic touch to its overall structure. Complementing the base, the lamp shade is also made from high-quality cardboard. The shade is carefully crafted to allow light to diffuse gently through its layers, creating a soft, ambient glow. The design of the shade often incorporates intricate patterns or a corrugated texture, adding visual interest and depth to the piece. The cardboard material gives the shade a unique, earthy appeal while maintaining its functionality as a light diffuser. Gregory Van Pelt's cardboard lamp and lamp shade exemplify eco-friendly design principles, demonstrating how sustainable materials can be transformed into elegant and practical household items. This lamp not only provides illumination but also serves as a statement piece, embodying the marriage of environmental consciousness and contemporary design.
