Light Fixture made of Recycled Content, Sconce

This ADA guideline abiding sconce was developed to explore the nature of materials which are often perceived as garbage.  Here, the challenge emerged in the potential flammability of these materials, where a more energy efficient light bulb resolved the issue.  Protruding only 4" off the wall, this sconce not only meets code, but glows interestingly by way of the foam core board and plastic bag making up its shade. Thus, we find the epitome of one man's trash becoming another man's treasure.
