Recycled Printer Ink Cartridge Lamps

Find out how one man transforms his company’s trash into artistic lamps!

If you’re someone who loves to decorate your living space with recycled art pieces, then this Epson printer ink cartridge lamp is definitely for you.

Created by seller BoxLightBox for his Etsy.com online shopping page, these lamps come in colors like magenta, yellow, cyan and black. You can hang them up at home or at work (like the chandelier above), or you set them on your desk like the one below:

If you’re worried about ink dripping onto your desk, have no fear. BoxLightBox has carefully cleaned each ink cartridge, and he’s hand-drilled and hand-wired each lamp for the ultimate light display.

I have one word to say about these lamps, and it’s from the Guinness Beer commercials – “Brilliant!”
