Talking about "new", recyclable materials a Swedish lamp made of cow dung(!) will be shown during next weeks Salone del Mobile in Milan. It was while experimenting at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm that students Karin Frankenstein and Tomas Auran found that a certain mixture of peat, Mongolian papier maché and adobe actually make a suprisingly durable material once dried. The frame of the lamp is partly welded and covered with the material. The foot of the lamp is sculptured and the shades are the result of originals sewed in textile, moulded into plaster negatives and then made in the peat-mixture. The lamp will be shown in the school exhibition ”Collection/selection” at Spazio Rossana Orlandi.
