Description

This project rethinks the consumption of goods by making industrial processes transparent, local, and adaptable. At its core is a lighting system that is fully remouldable thanks to its 100% natural wax composition. The natural wax blend developed resists to heat up to 80°c and can be melted at 100°c. Using a rotational moulding technique borrowed from the plastics industry, each lamp is made on-site in 45 minutes, in front of the customers. Designed to be reshaped through local micro-production points, the lamp becomes an evolving product, fostering a more sustainable relationship with objects. All objects have a specific weight enabinge waste-free remelting. The stainless steel base can be reused in other objects after dismantling, via OpenStructures. LE LABO 1.0 explores an ecosystem of objects where every stage of the material life cycle is designed to eliminate all waste, while envisioning what a transparent, local production space could be.
