Dutch design studio Waarmakers has used standard cardboard tubing to create a lamp that can be assembled from its own packaging.
The R16 lamp is delivered in a cardboard cylinder that contains the various components needed to transform the tube into a light – thereby reducing waste.
The cardboard tube has a central perforated section, which is laser cut. After the cylinder is unwrapped, this section can be removed to leave room for the lightbulb to shine through.
The lamp is suspended by a cord that is threaded through the cylinder, which is enclosed by a pair of cork stoppers. The LED rod is held in place by a pencil placed vertically into the tube.
