NOT A COFFEE TABLE BOOK
A book that doesn’t just sit on your table—it gets you to build, experiment, and create. This is a guide for hands-on making, not passive browsing.
MORE THAN
A LAMP
A guide to creating light, not just buying it.
These projects are not just about making lamps—they are about rethinking design, material use, and user agency. Each piece is an exploration of sustainability, flexibilirt, and hands-on creation, encouraging users to engage with the process rather than just consume the final product. By transforming discarded materials into functional, adaptable lighting solutions, we challenge traditional production models and empower individuals to become designers, makers, and problem-solvers.
Who is behind this?
We are three master's students from Domus Academy.
