Equilibrium is a lamp designed to showcase the irregularities that happen when melting recycled plastic. The plastic is collected from a network of local households that donate their plastics to the studio.
The plastic is sorted, shredded, and extruded to make the lamp base. Although it is all #5 plastic, different companies use different blends which sometimes react when melted together.
