steel waste lights

Creating some lampshades and lighting designs using offcuts and industry waste

steel waste lights by Ben Keimpe Hofmans

This lamp was designed to use offcuts from sheet metal profile cutting processes/ businesses - using material that would otherwise be down-cycled.

I'd like to fill the "empty space" in repeated sheet metal cutting jobs.

This design features a fixed lampshade, with petals radiating outward. By employing a steel construction, this shade can be used to contain and direct infrared light from an IR light bulb effectively and beautifully.
