Here's a project that's "born from the trash and returned to the trash." After a short, but useful lifecycle, Victor Vetterlein's Trash Me lamps can be returned to the trash/recycling stream from where they came. Each lamp is made from four, pulped to bits egg-carton and hand smoothed over a mold. After a few days of drying, the lamp is assembled section by section with aluminum screw posts. In the desk lamp, a sack of bird seed nestled in its base provides stability.
Once you're through with it, Trash Me can be disassembled and dumped into the recycling bin for further transformation and reuse.
