Light Trash!

It says to trash it but I wouldn't!
Trash Me Lamp @ switchmodern.com.

Switch Modern's description: The concept word for the Trash Me lamp is "transient."  Like our current global culture, it is ephemeral.  The lamp is made of paper pulp spread over a mold and left to dry.  A strong concept becomes an extraordinary form, and in this case, it is a rebirth of what the designer sees as a beauty of the utilitarian forms.  Its fitting name means "Please recycle me when no longer useful or desired."  
Trash Me Lamp is made of gray paper pulp, recycled wood, and aluminum components, finished with a 9 foot burgundy fabric cord.  This lamp uses one 40W E26 incandescent bulb or one 7-11W compact fluorescent.
