Home Lighting Fixtures from Recycled Materials

Green is in! With the current environment issues we are facing, isn’t it time we seriously start caring about the planet in our little ways?  Think of all the garbage that we throw everyday. Some of these can be recycled and put in good use. Here, we would like to share with you some amazing home lighting fixtures design ideas using recycled materials. After seeing these home lighting fixtures, I was so amazed at how many wonderful things can be built from what we throw away. With the holidays season only a few months away, these home lighting fixtures can also be excellent (not to mention unique) gifts. Some of the home lighting fixtures included in this post can also be made at home D-I-Y style!

Home Lighting Fixtures 01- Lamp made from recycled zip ties

We all buy a large number of gadgets and appliances for our homes each year and throw away all the packaging material that ends up clogging the landfills and polluting the ecosystem. Avid DIYers have always found many of those materials interesting for their new projects. Designer Charles Parsons has a similar mindset and has designed a stunning piece of art from zip ties.

Charles uses more than a thousand of zip ties to design a lamp he calls the Helios. The Helios lamp is 24 inches long and 15 inches in diameter and is made from acrylic rings and 1200 zip ties that are held together by stainless nuts and washers.  View this home lighting fixtures from source.

Home Lighting Fixtures 02- Recycled Milk Bottle lamp by Droog Design

The “Milkbottle Lamp” is a classic in the history of modern lighting. The lamp is feautured in numerous museum collections including the MoMa New York City and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The individual parts of this lamp are completely plain but the combination makes of them an opulent chandelier. Less and more, united in a single product.

The milk bottle chandelier is a cluster of 12 old-fashioned milk bottles. The bottles are sandblasted and have a chrome top. The milk bottles hang on long cables, 12 at a time – three rows each of four bottles, just like the Dutch milk crate in the old days. The lamp costs $1691 at Nova68.

Home Lighting Fixtures 03- Epson ink cartridge lamps

Created with empty Epson boxes, these deceptively simple lamps emit a warm glow while also showing off your (geeky) sense of decorating style. The lamp can be purchased at a very low price of $35.  But if you want to make one yourself using the hundreds of empty ink cartridges that might be lying under your table, then go ahed and make one.

Home Lighting Fixtures 04- Lamp created from discarded drinking straws.

We all love to spend our summers sipping chilled drinks and never actually bother about the hundreds of drinking straws we discard each season to keep ourselves cool. Designer Scott Jarvie knows the fact that plastic-made straws end up polluting the landfills and water reserves and are as great a threat to the ecosystem as plastic water bottles, so he created this beautiful lamp from otherwise discarded drinking straws.

Home Lighting Fixtures 04 – Sticking screws together

Recycling junked objects for something new always results in a product that’s unique to the core and one-of-a-kind. Creating inimitable products is usually the driving force for most eco-minded artists when they start a new endeavor without knowing the exact outcome. Eco artist Georgi Porgy has mastered the art by crafting exceptional pieces of art from objects no one ever bothers to look at.

The artist has crafted a stunning lamp from thousands of brown screws that are just right as a retro makeover for your wall and provide a dimly lit environment to make your room a bit more romantic perfect for a nighttime party. View home lighting fixtures from source.
