Fire extinguisher recycled lamp

Fire extinguishers are not only for extinguishing fire? Samuel N. Bernier, a young designer in Canada, finished designing a new lamp using an old fire extinguisher. The body of the lamp resembles an arch, and a brownish light shines in the upper side.

 Samuel, inspired by his school?s upcycle workshop, decided to build a product that would help recycle trash. The fire extinguisher lamp was an idea the came upon him while he was deliberating about the creative revival of street junk.

After brainstorming for a few hours with his friends, the young designer was sure that a used-up fire extinguisher would make a fine interior lamp. He searched for an old fire-extinguisher and carefully analyzed its structure.

Then, he redesigned the lamp by putting all the pieces together in different ways into the shape of a lamp. Like an interior DIY package, he sifted through the particles and came up with a new point of view.

Lamp from plastic bags and sawdust

Kulla, a design studio in Israel, came up with a completely new type of recycled material. The group even used some of the sawdust from the construction site nearby and built a new lamp.

Wine bottle into a soft light

The wine bottle is a relatively popular form of upcycle lamp design. John Meng, a Chinese eco-designer revived used up wine bottles into a delicate form of art. He slipped in a piece of paper with poetry written on it inside the lamp, only using the bottles and some lightbulbs.

While plastic/glass bottles are being disposed of everyday, there are a number of ways that we can reuse them – one way is to use them to design the interior of houses.

As the public feeds itself with more food and drinks, the waste we produce everyday has constantly been increasing. All we need is a bit of creativity and a ton of used-up bottles.

These days, more people are using waste products to create their own vintage designs, and the popularity of the attempt is still in an upward slope.

Still, this, like many other popular forms of urban culture, may only turn out to be somewhat temporary. Such designs would only be widely spread when the public finds more value within its everyday waste.
