Given a chance, many of us would like to glam up our decor with some pretty interior lighting and classy furniture. However the likes of Dana Otto prefer to opt for subtlety and the de-glam route by fashioning a lineup of LED lamps out of recycled paper and wires. Needless to say the outcome is impressive as you can see with this Growth Series.

The unpretentious LED lamps can be placed whichever ways you like to project light on walls, ceilings or even the table. Custom Lighting at its best! Dana Otto’s design came as a result of Pratt Institute’s second annual George Kovacs Lighting Competition.

We all know alkaline batteries are really bad for the environment if you don’t dispose of them properly. The right thing to do is send them to special recycling centers but hundreds of tons end up in landfills where their toxic innards seep into the earth. Perhaps a good solution is the Energy Seed, an LED lamp post powered by trashed alkaline batteries.

The idea is to encourage people to throw their batteries away into the Energy Seed. There’s a slot for nearly every size battery. The unit combines any left over juice from all the batteries to power a super efficient LED ring.

Of course once the bins are full, we’re left with the same original problem. Somebody has to collect all those spent batteries and recycle them.
