HauteGREEN Sneak Peek: Cardboard Lamps by G|O|E Designs

Today's entry into our series featuring the best sustainable home designs that have been submitted for showcase at HauteGREEN takes inspiration from leftover cardboard and clumsiness. The team at G|O|E Design (Jeremy Grove, Campbell Orme and Shaun East -- we've featured them before) marry this odd pair into a hand-made table lamp that's sturdy enough to not mind being knocked off a table top while simultaneously using up all of their waste packaging. Waste cardboard is compressed together to form big cardboard laminate blocks. Each one is then hand-turned to form simple, soft shapes; the hand-turning process insures every one is unique. With each lamp produced, there is more beauty, more light and less trash in the world; if only all designs were so thoughtful. ::HauteGREEN and ::G|O|E Design

Check out the rest of the Sneak Peek Series for a glimpse at the best in sustainable home design.

i love cardboard furniture but alas i suspect my kittiers would love it to, would shred it to peices in days, for many years i had day dreams of making my own furniture from cardboard but i recently realized my feline roomates would mistake it for scratching posts,
these are pretty :)

Love innovative products made from everyday materials. On the same lines of cardboard accessories blumebox.com offers a unique way to display flowers without the clutter of glass vases. I was first introduced to blumebox when in hospital delivery my son. Received two blumeboxes and loved the colors available but most of all the fact that after the flowers died I was able to recycle the blumebox. Not more having to hang onto another glass vase!
