Spirollight



Spirollight is one of the latest joint ventures between Ilsa Parry and Andrew Luft at the REthinkthings 
studio. Using 94 standard toilet paper tubes, anyone can create this shining sculpture. A statement 
piece, this mono-material lamp shows just how easy it is to create products from everyday "waste".


The geometric structure forms the light as it is projected onto the ceiling from the Spirollight pendant. This simple yet effective idea will be launched with "make it yourself" instruction packs for sale at the MOSI Mini Makers Fair, taking place at the Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester, England from the 10th to the 11th of August. 

Why pay for designer lighting when you can employ your own creativity and make your own whilst 
helping to reduce unnecessary waste?


Spirollight uses toilet paper tubes which are cut into rings, and slotted together in pairs of rings to create a near spherical shape using the easy to follow template guides. Upcycling materials diverts from landfill and the ability to say you made this yourself can bring a worthwhile sense of satisfaction.


Hard copy instruction packets and downloadable print-it-yourself instructions will be available to buy online from www.rethinkthings.co.uk/spirollight from 1st August.

Check out its development on our facebook page and follow us for more variations on this unusual design.
