Luminous Re-weave

Weaving Upcycled Textiles into radiant, Stackable Modules

An adaptive-reuse light sculpture exploring structure, shadow, and craft. Modular components are hand-woven with reclaimed materials, creating a flat-pack, repairable lamp. The piece invites re-making, turning waste streams into warm, architectural light.

Modularity

Metal frames and 3D-printed covers stack into variable-height columns. Each module assembles in minutes without tools, enabling quick prototyping for pop-ups, markets, lobbies, or homes. Swappable skins—translucent, perforated, mirrored—let one set shift between display, lighting, or wayfinding. By decoupling form from finish, it favors reuse over rebuild: parts circulate, projects evolve, material stays in play.

Cradle to Grave

From discarded textiles to luminous, stackable modules, this work charts a full material life. Re-woven and upcycled, fragments return as radiant forms—inviting reflection on cycles of making and unmaking, where nothing truly ends but is continually transformed.

Textile / D.I.Y.

Recycled textiles become both medium and method: cut strips from T-shirts, denim, or plastic bags—or use the provided bundles—and hand-wrap the metal frame to create swappable luminous skins. The act of wrapping, knotting, and replacing turns waste into a personal surface; each strand carries its past life, making the lamp a tactile archive built for continual reuse.
