The 'Light Soy' glass lamp is a premium decor solution for the home that helps to infuse a touch of charming design, while also shining light on an important issue. The light draws design inspiration from the single-use fish-shaped soy sauce packets that are commonly used in Japan and in other parts of the world, which are often difficult to recycle and usually head to the landfill or into the ocean.
The lamp is made with durable materials that are also recyclable including borosilicate glass along with powder-coated aluminum to allow for repair when required, replacement and refurbishment. The lamp comes packaged in plastic-free, biodegradable packaging that's made from molded sugarcane.
The 'Light Soy' glass lamp is the design work of Jeffrey Simpson and Angus Ware of Heliograf.
