UPCYCLING LAMPS

Let scrap shine brightly!

I always had a weakness for everything that emmit light.

Excited i followed the development of LED technology and even as a child i experimented with decorative lighting.

Some lamps were created across the years, most of them by reusing existing material.

RUSTY PLANET

The story of this lamp started with a random finding of a very rusty satellite dish inside a rubbish dump i went by during a walk in Ingolstadt.

Rust and gold (composition gold) collide and generate a unusual but warm combination of material.

Like a moon a old ladl floats in front of the Rusty Planet and illuminates the front of it. After all, it stills look like a satellite antenna.

The warmwhite LED module in the ladl and a RGB stripe behind the dish can be controlled by an remote.

GLASS FOREST

Together with some friends i created a light installation out of upcycling material for the Open-Flair Festival 2015 in Ingolstadt.

Suspended between trees, there's a glowing bunch of glasses and rusty wires.

Every single one of the about 70 glasses inherit a orange LED and a used plastic bag as a diffusor.

By using marble painting, the glasses get coloured and secured with some hop wire on the lid, so that they can't fall down.

A LED controller pulses the light of the glasses and creates a lively light ambience.
