Now for something hot from Chile (so sorry, more bad puns to come). New work from Rodrigo getting it right with the ingenuity/style balance yet again. Rodrigo presents the N+EW Light, stands for 'No More Electronic Waste'.

Rodrigo says, "This creation is a beautiful object due to its extreme honesty and perfect randomness. Almost an example where error transforms itself in the final search and perfection. N+EW light is is produced by rotomolding, where low density plastic is mixed with the plastic of the crushed electronic waste shaping an irreverent diffuser molded in an also recycled iron matrix. Its base is produced with smelted aluminum of beer and drink tins amongst others. Together they form this 32 x 32 x 32 cm piece. Mixture of technology and industrial processes, the chance of the shaken plastic pieces in a 300 degrees celcius furnace and a hand made completion, give an almost artisan character and importance to an object created with what we all throw without remedy to the trash can."

Love it.
