01/09/21

By Emily Wentland Provisional RGD, York University/Sheridan College, Toronto/Oakville, ON

 

Award sponsored by Greenmelon

 


While most packaging is discarded, Lumi is a unique lightbulb packaging that can be turned into a lampshade. Inspired by fireflies and designed carefully using two pieces to avoid breakage of the lightbulb, the larger piece can be used as a lampshade with openings for light to pass through, projecting a whimsical design on the surrounding walls.
