Recycling the waste material from local factories, Gothenburg studio Design Stories in collaboration with recycling workshop Returhuset has come up with a range of drawstring lamps that other than enhancing the home decor also helps in sustaining the environment. Utilizing the unyielding fabric made by textile brand Svensson Markspelle, which was formerly used in sun shades, the drawstring lamps employ cords reclaimed from Gothenburg’s Belt Factory and the wooden components retrieved from a neighboring wood worker’s shop.
Developed as a part of Merry-Go-Round collection by the designer, the pendant lamps that are available in two different sizes transform industrial waste into domestic products to enhance the modern interiors. Available in Merry-Go-Round online shop, the drawstring lamps also comes with a stand, made from bicycle spokes, so they could be used as table lamps as well.
