Now this is one of the funkiest lamps we've spied, and what a clever recycling idea. This light is made from a Vespa sourced from Milan and you can bet you won't find another lamp like it! Yes, it's a steep investment at £1,100 but if you want your lamp to be a centrepiece, a sustainable design and look oh so funky, then this may prove one of your finer investments.
Size: 55 (h) x 70 (w) x 50 (d) cm

This Moonstruck Light will be a centrepiece for your room, as when lit, it casts a striking patterned glow around the room. Made from porcelain, the moon 'holes' are drilled by hand by a Viennese artist, fired twice and decorated up to three times. And we're loving the fact the electric kilns used are powered by renewable sources, mainly hydroelectricity. Modern, sustainable and unique in its effect, this wonderful light is firmly on our wish list.
We're liking the solid, heavy feel of this material, similar in nature to slate, yet they've been made from recycled vending machine coffee cups through the Save-A-Cup scheme. Clever! Easy to wipe clean they won't hurt your table either as their bottoms have been covered in felt. Stylish, eco friendly and will last a lifetime. What's not to love?!
As I type on my lap, my feet are up but I wish they were resting on this super footstool. Made under fair trade terms, this mindi wood makes up its square stylish frame and features seagrass panels.

Oh, and if you really want to splash out, they've got some matching furniture too. Smart.
