High-Fashion Recycled Lamps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Palitios' Lamp is Crafted Using Old Fruit Crates

— September 29, 2016 — Eco
The act of upcycling has become a somewhat in vogue design aesthetic, which the 'Palitios' recycled lamp looks to help accelerate. Designed by Sergio Mendoza, the 'Palitios' lamp -- which translates to "little sticks" -- features a lampshade that's made using recycled fruit crates for a somewhat edgy aesthetic.

The 'Palitios' lamp features a steel wire base that comes in four color options including black, white, turquoise and coral, as well as two size options including small and medium.

The rugged, industrial design of the recycled lamp gives it a high-fashion feeling that makes it an exceptional option for those looking for fashionable yet unexpected decor pieces.

The 'Palitios' lamp retails for €133.10 and identifies how designers and brands are responding to consumer demands for products that are stylish yet not as wasteful.

1. Upcycled Decor - The growing popularity of upcycling as a design aesthetic presents an opportunity for brands to innovate in the sustainable home decor market.
2. Industrial Chic - The rugged, industrial design of upcycled lamps could spark a trend towards more high-fashion, grunge-inspired home decor.
3. Green Interior Design - The 'Palitios' lamp highlights the potential for sustainable, eco-friendly design to be luxurious and stylish, opening doors for sustainable interior design in high-end markets.
Industry Implications
