Environment can have a great impact on a designer's work. Take Ali Siahvoshi, who grew up in Iran, where it is very sunny. After moving to Britain, where it is not very sunny, Siahvoshi began designing lighting. Not just any lighting, but spirited, humorous lighting, many from objects you don't expect to see in a lamp... like funnels, and tableware, and recycled wire hangers, for example.
Siahvoshi uses recycled cutlery to surround his light source. Unexpected?




A very creative use for recycled umbrellas. Who's Robert? No idea.

Submitted on July 9th, 2008 by Anonymousgood like the umbrellas, but the seventh "floor lamp" needs paint on the lampfoot or a "lampfoot cover" thing. Otherwise that was kinda good too.
