About
The Tube 7 modular lamp design is a toolkit enabling people to reuse water bottles to make their own custom lighting systems at home. The toolkit contains 7 different types of 3D printed connectors and one T-shaped base for installing the components. By giving users components and not the final design outcome, Tube 7 is an environmental-friendly-yet-playful project to inspire participants to create their own light sculptures and encourage creative individual contributions to recycling.
