Utilized washing machine drums are provided a new life as a lamp by designer Willem Heeffer. The up-cycled product is founded on 3 principles: locally sourced and recycled materials, hand produced to the highest regular and transforming or reinventing to anything which entirely disconnects from its past.
”When I work with old materials I take them out of context, use it in an unexpected way to produce something new. The goal is to initial see a stunning solution right after which you learn the history behind it. Only then the products are no longer viewed as trash and have turn out to be style pieces.” says the designer.
Drum light is powder coated in 6 different colours and appears to hover in the air suspended by 3 1mm thick cables. The drive wheel at the back of the machine is placed inside the drum to property the T5 circular tube which has an outstanding light output.
The fabric braided electricity cable is colour matching and the lights are fitted with acrylic sheets which diffuse the light. It is also offered in an LED version.
The drums are salvaged from the neighborhood recycling centers who have taken on the labor intensive task to take them out of the machines to give them a second life which makes these lamps 90% recycled! It is a lamp with a clean history!
