Obscure orange medium

Obscure is a collection of lampshades that draws on biology’s capacity for novelty, directedness and disobedience. Despite conforming to the maker’s geometry, every single lampshade is hand-made and is completely unique! They each have their own quirks, feel and character and they are all organically diverse with beautiful subtle variations. Obscured under the simple forms of the collection are truly biomimetic (nature-inspired) design and biomanufacturing processes. The lampshades begin their life as the peels of oranges after they have been juiced or the chaff of coffee beans after they have been roasted. These “waste” streams are then mixed with Biohm’s unique organic binder to create Orb (organic refuse biocompound) material to create 100% natural, cold-compostable and renewable lampshade. Each Obscure lampshade consumes up to 3kg of “waste” and sequesters up to 1.5kg of carbon.
