EcoLumière: Ambient Lighting from Repurposed Tracing Sheets

The project explores sustainable lighting design through the reuse of tracing sheets, transforming them into functional and aesthetically appealing ambient lighting installations. The initiative promotes the circular economy by reducing waste and demonstrating the potential of repurposed materials in interior applications.

Concept Statement
EcoLumière integrates innovative material processing techniques to convert discarded tracing sheets into durable, luminous, and visually engaging lighting fixtures. By combining eco-conscious materials with efficient lighting elements, the project redefines sustainable design within interior spaces.
