I particulary appreciate Egg-crate Lamp by Federico Otero. Its a clear demonstration that using recycled material doesn\’t have to look crappy but can be elegant, subtle an timeless. I could see that lamp in my house… Dozens of them ;)

Congratulation

Great job by all. I especially like the furniture redo by Christine Chitnis. Proves one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

De verdad que la que más me llamó la atención no sólo por bonita y práctica sino por su creatividad novedosa decorativa, es la Lamapra de Cascaras de Huevo, que también es una forma de cuidar el Medio Ambiente, ya que utliza algo natural (reciclaje). Felicitaciones Federico Otero

Wow! Someone should set up a lamp factory next to the landfill. It seems almost any piece of garbage can be turned into a lamp. But please use CFLs. I might like the plunger light better if it had some paper bits and brown stains so we could believe it was actually “saved” from a landfill.

Phone book table-best use of an obsolete object.
Bookshelf-clever idea, excellent execution.

lilypoopug

I absolutely LOVE the doggie raincoats! now THIS is creative reuse of something that would definitely end up in a landfill….. now, what to do with the metal framework??? maybe a wacky mobile of some sort??!!!

The egg crate lamp by Federico Otero was created in the beginning of 2007 for a Muji Competition and presented in a design fair in May in Bogota, Colombia , and was published in 2007 in Proyecto Design in Colombia. There has press for the lamp on various television programs throughout Latin America and Colombia, and was published in Proyecto Diseno, Red Latino Americano de Diseno, among others and has been presented in design shows throughout Peru. If you would like to see details about the press with dates please contact me at info@otero-d.com.

all the designs are creative and useful in everyday life.

Which one is the most useful, durable, easy to clean and beautiful product? There is one answer for me – Table & Dresser by Christine Chitnis. They are not strange, unusual or unexpected – they are just exactly what our everyday objects need to be if we want to use them for long time and with pleasure and not throw them away when dirty, because it will not be possible to clean them as is the case with some of the projects with most votes.

The laptop briefcase is awesome! Whimiscal and useful at the same time!
