This genius German designer is conscious and concerned about the rate at which society produces waste. He sees product packaging as a major contributor to environmental problems; packaging is often excessive, unnecessary and takes years to degrade. Wolke decided to develop a design that would inspire society to change, or rather, show them the light.

The Beute Lamp is the result of Wolke’s efforts; this fantastic fixture is constructed completely out of packaging cardboard. Wolke proves with this piece that trash can become treasure if we only look at it in a different light.
