Led lighting is one of the most important deals in the sustainability matter, we all know that. Thank God we have someone that has considered, at some point, using cardboard tubing to build a led lighting system. The Dutch design duo Waarmakers bring us now a totaly out of the box led lighting solution.

Designers Simon Akkaya and Maarten Heijltjes (that happen to be the founders of Waarmakers design studio), used a standard cardboard tubing to create (guess what?) a suspension lamp. This lighting design piece can be essembleed from its own packing by the users.

Called “R16”, this lamp is a cardboard LED tube lighting fixture in which the packing turns into the lighting in a form of a LED luminary, producing the least amount of waste possible.

This incredible and unique idea came up while developing another project involving tubular LED fixtures. The two designers were not confortable with the idea of having to throw away all those cardboard packings, so, they started thinking about solutions.

The minimalistic design allows this piece to fit into a variety of situations and environments. Users can apply different colors to fix materials, customizing the product according to the ongoing project.

The natural and neutral color of the cardboard can be combined with both soft and saturated color paletts.
