I never thought of plastics, including PVC, as a noble material, and neither did I think that any of the objects I designed would be made of plastic. The PVC sewage pipes thrown away on building sites or rubbish dumps never caught my interest or imagination. Unlike metal pipes, a heavy material with character, PVC seemed insignificant.
Even though recycling or reuse is the most critical because of the amount of our plastic waste.

I discovered PVC while making a birdhouse in the spring and I was intrigued by its ease of machining and availability in large quantities. Unlike glass or metal, PVC is easy to melt and bend, which is the most exciting characteristic for me, so I started experimenting with the material. Surface treatment was not difficult either.

All the sewer pipes I used spent decades underground; once they have served their purpose, instead of the expensive process of recycling (collecting, sorting, cleaning, melting, etc.), a new object is made from the material immediately after it has been thrown away, thus achieving the most efficient recycling. In my experiments, I found the least crumpled pieces the most exciting, but also the more coiled, more complex shapes are intriguing. The base of the lamps is made of concrete, which contains a large amount of crushed concrete left over from other experiments. The heavy base ensures the lamp's stability, so the concrete is not just a visual element but plays an important role. I chose a sturdy textile cable (20x15mm) for the cables of the lamps.
