Bio Recursive
Modular table lamp made from waste eggshells
The Bio Recursive modular table lamp is for everyday consumers, solving the problem of homeware being discarded too soon by allowing easy style updates and repairs. It is made from a truly biodegradable, 84% waste eggshell biomaterial, reducing landfill waste and reliance on virgin resources. The parts are compostable as fertilizer, and the lamp ships flat-packed to reduce emissions. The biomaterial is potentially patentable.
