NOI Creative's Terra Lamps Transform 150 Million Tonnes of Annual Rice Waste Into Nordic Design Icons - Yanko Design
"The Terra lamp series represents more than product development. Each piece contains approximately 60% agricultural byproducts that would otherwise contribute to global waste streams."
"Coffee grounds provide rich brown tones and fine textures, often accompanied by a subtle olfactory experience that connects users to the material's origins."
"Rice husks, despite being discarded at a rate of 150 million tonnes annually, offer natural strength and resilience due to their high silica content."
"The remaining 40% consists of carefully selected binding agents that maintain structural cohesion without compromising the environmental benefits."
The Terra collection features lamps made from coffee grounds, rice husks, and wheat bran, representing a sustainable approach to design. Approximately 60% of each lamp consists of agricultural byproducts that contribute to reducing global waste. Coffee grounds provide aesthetic appeal and a sensory experience, while rice husks offer resilience and structural strength. Wheat bran enhances functionality. A careful selection of binding agents makes up the remaining materials, achieving a breakthrough in utilizing bio-waste as primary components while maintaining quality and sustainability in lighting design.
