Circular Light’s simple construction, small size and minimal parts allow it to be packed neatly and compactly. Its packaged dimensions are determined by the Dutch letter mail limits, which allows for faster shipping. It uses recycled materials gathered from existing plastic bottles, caps, metal cans and wood, which gives the product a sense of renewal and symbiosis.
Due to the modular structure and simple DIY assembly method, the product maintenance becomes efficient and convenient. Parts are interchangeable and can be replaced by the consumer rather than replacing the entire unit. This product has also been designed with a full circular life span in mind. From waste collection to disassembly and disposal, the goal is to keep the product in a recyclable and reusable loop instead of a linear life, thereby reducing its carbon footprint.
