PETiffany lamp

Gad Charny - Israel
 

Lightness of thought, lightness of approach , lightness of materials. Contribution to a different future, style with less waste. Sharing the achievements of the past with the means appropriate to the future. Creating new opportunities for sustainable style in the future.

In an era of fast change, of consuming and throwing away, and at the same time, of acquiring "style" and "quality of life " through objects, it is appropriate to reduce the objects to their iconic values, to reduce them to minimum, and re-do them with minimum waste.

The PETiffany lamp offers a fresh look at life style objects, objects of past glory, icons of good taste. Those objects are re-visited, re-invigorated with re-used materials. Replacing expensive hand crafted glass with the ubiquitous plastic from milk bottles.

The PETiffany is a lamp and is also a proposal, standing for simplicity, clarity, lack of self-importance, humility of material and processes. It stands for accessibility, style-for-all, and preservation of resources combined with reducing waste and enriching life with yet another beautiful object. Our need for the beautiful remains, but with our growing undersatnding of the impacts of waste it does not have to mean the use of expensive materials.
