Tomato-Powered Light?

Innovative lighting ideas from a showcase of Israeli design students at the Milan Furniture Fair. Some of the more interesting examples:

  • Still Light: A light powered by tomatoes
  • 97% Soap: A light made from soap, which would melt with a normal incandescent bulb.
  • 100% Plastic: A light made with zero plastic manufacturing waste.

Many of these lighting ideas would be impossible without the advances in low-power, low-heat light bulbs, which allow the use of more delicate (and often more eco-friendly) materials.
