Inspired by 19th-century paper dome observatories, “Lume” echoes past design and reimagines materiality. Crafted from a biodegradable composite comprised of shredded paper, wood shavings and natural additives. The concept aligns with Carl Elefante's idea that “the greenest building is the one that’s already built.” In a world teeming with overlooked resources, it's our duty as designers to harness the abundance of materials destined for waste in our pursuit of sustainable and thoughtful design.

This product advocates for a world where past and present harmonise, and where products are not just functional but responsible and environmentally considerate.
