British designer Bradly Hood has created, as part of a university project, an elegant recycled circuit board lamp - the Sy-Box. The light was created as a school project requiring the designers to follow strict guidelines including the use of recycled materials.
“The materials used were disused circuit boards and acrylic plastic. I made sure the plastic had come from a recycled source…as for the circuit boards, these were obtained from a circuit board manufacturer,” explains the young designer. “The shape of the light was designed to generate the least amount of waste whilst still looking aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically suited for the user.”
The rechargeable handmade Sy-Box is currently a one-of-a-kind item and is for sale at £65. However, the designer may consider making more in the future.
“I have detailed plans of how it would be manufactured on a large scale if there was a substantial increase in demand,” he explains.
