BOOKLAMPS by Atelier Bomdesign

by NK

The Dutch design shop Atelier Bomdesign features several products fabricated from recycled materials. By far, our favorite is the Booklamp (or Boeklampen, in the native tongue), a clever take on reading light- proving that books are for both learning AND lighting. Used books are beautifully re-crafted and shaped into shades that emit a soft glow. As they are handcrafted, the Booklamps are perhaps more art than everyday fixture, and are priced accordingly (200-400 euros).

What a great find! Although, these are expensive pieces of art, it seems like something that you could build on your own… perhaps from your own recycled books!

I would be careful making them yourself… they seem like a bit of a fire hazard, although im sure that has been thought about for retail sale!
