Constructed entirely of three individual reclaimed objects and handmade papier-mache, the lamp accentuates the beauty of mundane mass-produced objects.

For decades, plastic has been the "skin" of our consumables, delivering what we know as modern convenience at the expense of our environment. The amount of plastic packaging equates to or results in more than the exact number of meals we consume in a day. This reality is blatant yet often overlooked compared to other large-scale sustainable initiatives. 

The "Bread/Butter" lamp exemplifies the ubiquitous use of plastic packaging, specifically the LDPE bread bags. Illuminated by the light, the laminated graphics create intricate visual effects that reflect the conflicted relationship between plastic and the modern consumer. The relationship is then further amplified through the contrast of the traditional paper's lantern form and the artificial vivid color of the bread bags.

To generate an alternative gesture of turning light on and off, the two designs combine simplistic form and wood's opaque property to deliver an interactive physical experience of controlling the light.

Light is a seemingly intangible medium. To successfully work with light is to understand how it interacts with other micro- or macro-environments.

This series of light objects explores how to manipulate light by utilizing material properties and physical interactions.
