Design by Victor Vetterlein, 2010. Through globalization and constant expansion of opportunity via the internet, people are on the move and their interest and allegiance in all things is short-lived. The concept word for the Trash Me lamp design is transient. Like our current global culture, it is a product that is ephemeral. The lamp is made of paper pulp spread over a mold and left to dry. Paper is in itself a transient material. A strong concept idea leads to extraordinary form, and in this case it is a rebirth of what the designer sees as the beauty of the utilitarian forms. It is only fitting that the name is Trash Me, meaning "please recycle me when no longer useful or desired". The Trash Me lamp can be quickly disassembled and the parts reused or recycled back into the trash to be born again as something new. Provides direct illumination. Paper pulp, metal, recycled wood, fabric covered cord. 100% recyclable. Material(s): Paper pulp, recycled wood, metal Dimensions: 10"L X 6"W X 20.6"H Lamp Type: incandescent Bulbs: 1 X 40W max 120V E26 (medium base) incandescent lamp (not included) Models: AT-20851231 Victor VetterleinVictor Vetterlein (born 1957 in Philadelphia) spent half his lifetime trying to find his true passion. His interest in becoming a designer unfolded slowly over time. In his youth, he wanted to build fast motorcycles. As a young man, with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Building Construction Management, he enjoyed constructing buildings. This lead to designing and welding steel sculptures, which eventually lead to architecture. Becoming a designer was a journey of discovery where each event was connected to the next. Inspired by his employer and mentor, the American architect Charles Gwathmey, he developed a desire to build his own signature design business. In 2007 he opened his office with an emphasis on architecture and product design. In an explorative effort to find his own language, his early design work from 2007 to 2009 was predominately whimsical and surreal art projects centered on his interest in anime, manga, and robotics. Innovation according to Victor Vetterlein: "My best design work emerges when I forge into the realm of possibilities with spontaneity and lack of thought. The less I think, the faster I act, the more authentic the work. I am inspired by the fluid and interlaced shapes of the natural world as well as the finite fabric of a city street. Subtle details observed in life provide the stimulus for new design. I believe that a strong concept idea is the DNA for extraordinary design. When a concept is used and followed closely, the end product is deep, layered, and profound in an effortless way". &TraditionCraft meets art. Function meets form.

This is Nordic tradition and this is the heritage that is cherished and kept. &Tradition aims to bridge the values of solid handcraft to contemporary design. &Tradition's collection covers iconic designs and undiscovered gems from the masters of yesterday, and also features new works from leading designers of today and the talent of tomorrow.

Remodel Housings
In contrast to new construction housings, remodeling housings are appropriate when you have limited or no access to the space above a new fixture, such as in an apartment or a home without crawl spaces or attics above.
New Construction Housings
In contrast to remodeling housings, new construction housings are bulkier and need to be installed between joist beams or onto hangar bars and thus you need full access to the space above the fixture. This style is best used if you are building in a new space, gutting a room, or have an attic above or pop out ceiling, etc.
Non-IC Rated
Non-IC stands for: non insulation contact. Thus, non-IC-rated housings must be kept at least 3 inches away from any insulation.
IC Rated
IC stands for: insulation contact. Thus, IC-rated housings can come in direct contact with thermal insulation.
MR16 Halogen Bulb
MR 16 is a standard format for halogen multifaceted reflector light bulbs. MR16 lamps are regularly used in place of standard incandescent light bulbs as they harness and shoot light, resulting in less light loss than a traditional bulb. These are best used when you want focused light such as in a pendant over a countertop or an accent light on a painting.

Damp Location
If the environment exposes the lighting system to moisture condensation, then the location is a damp location. Lights that are approved for damp locations can be used in sheltered outdoor areas such as roofed porches or interior locations subject to moderated degrees of moisture such as basements.
Wet Location
If the lighting system is exposed to direct impact by water from splashing or dripping, which will make the fixture wet, then the location is a wet location. Your most common wet locations are uncovered outdoor areas.
