"The purpose of the project was to explore circular manufacturing, and because acetate is such a hard material to get your hands on, I used acrylic for that first prototype. So, I thought, 'This is going to be an eco-friendly product one day, but right now, it is made with normal materials that I can buy locally.'"
"Sustainable processes are really important. They aren't the driving factor, but they're like hygiene. I wouldn't feel good making anything that couldn't be repaired or that uses materials that don't biodegrade in a reasonable amount of time."
"Each lamp is one-of-a-kind, bearing unique gradients and tonal variations. The rounded reflector is made from a plant-based composite-wood pulp and cotton that is processed in Montreal, and the cast stone base is poured in the studio."
The TL-1 Lamp from Montreal's Juba studio features a cosmic design and sustainable materials. Initially prototyped with acrylic, it now uses hand-formed cellulose acetate and locally sourced components. Each lamp is unique, showcasing gradients and tonal variations. The design emphasizes sustainability, with replaceable LED bulbs and a dimmer knob that mimics natural light. The lamp's construction reflects a commitment to eco-friendly practices while delivering an atmospheric lighting experience.
