Eliminator Manual Shredder

The Eliminator by Merve Kahraman is a desk lamp that uses shredded paper as its shade. It allows the user to totally customise the lamp depending on what paper the user chooses to shred.

At the base of the lamp is a plate that catches the discarded paper for easy disposal.

Double Duty Lampshade

I love anything that can serve double duty, like a table that folds into a partition, or a cell phone cover with space for your cards and ID. This lampshade from Czech designer Krystyna Pojerova certainly does that. It was developed with the modern desire to grow herbs in the kitchen. The lack of space meant that the herbs would have to be hung from the ceiling. Such an innovative design surely deserves to be put into production.
