Reycled Taxidermy Lighting

Philou Le Caribou Uses Cardboard as a Means to Illuminate Rooms

Designers Maxime Dubreucq, Vincent Claudepierre and Benoit Louzaouen have managed to reinterpret typical taxidermy pieces with their Philou Le Caribou lighting scheme.

Philou Le Caribou towers above rooms with its extended set of antlers. Its commanding form makes the at-home product a talking piece, critical for low-key rooms lacking in decor.

At the tip of the reindeer's nose is a spot for light bulbs. The bulb doesn't always have to be turned on however. The style looks equally as good in the light of day.

The package created by Dubreucq, Claudepierre and Louzaouen
involves some DIY aspects as the pieces are sent to buyers disassembled. The small bit of elbow grease is mitigated by the lightweight package, requiring minimal if any shipping fees.
