MilkTurban: Milk Containers Upcycled Into Lampshade
Advanced
This new design is called ‘MilkTurban‘. It’s number twelve in a series of lampshades made out of plastic milk containers.
Like many of you know by now these plastic milk containers are cut into three parts, bottom, middle and top. MilkTurban is made from the middle part of containers. This smaller and in a way cute lampshade is a construction of woven and overlapping parts. A bit like MilkChain where I started weaving the plastic parts.

MilkTurban has a woven and interlocked structure. This lampshade is 32 cm. in diameter and is designed for use in combination with a pendant or floor lamp. The structure shows its real beauty when the light is on.
