from rags to riches

designer's own words:
This is a true story of an unused plastic tube !
Imagine you’ve just done some work at your place and you are left with a piece of common sewage plastic tube. What do you do with it when you’re a designer? You through it away or you convert it into something useful!
The second option was favoured and this is how this meaningless peace of plastic became a strikingly different light ready to stand into any living room.
Its characteristics and imperfections makes it very human and gives it its uncommon look. Hens, in this case, design has truly been used as a value added process.
