The ECO-BULB concept plays with the icon of the light bulb.

This design offers an efficient & sustainable construction: 2 cables connect to an LED strip, attached to 2 wood pieces, which hold the paper without adhesives.

Paper might darken over time but is easily replaceable. You can use any paper or colour.

This simplicity makes ECO-BULB easy to manufacture locally from industry off-cuts. Parts are easily available, exchangeable, recyclable (The lamp is compostable, except the electrical parts).

In opposition to glaring fluorescent tubes, the paper creates a charming warm glow.
