Handcrafted cardboard table lamp combining painting and upcycling. Colorful surfaces reflect light to create an expressive lantern effect by Diego Faivre.
The “Yellow Magic Lantern” is the first combination of Diego Faivre and Hugo Béhérégaray’s working process within the “Dazzling Lights” and “Storage Solutions”. The artists intuitively turned a 2D sketch into a complex developed 3D composition. The light reflects on the different colourful surfaces, bringing up that lantern feel that brings clarity from the darkness.

French-born, Netherlands-based Diego Faivre is a recent graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven. His graduation project, Minute Manufacture, offers complete transparency in the production and manufacturing processes of design in his work, challenging the current fabrication and evaluation of objects. For Faivre, time really is money; the number of minutes spent affects the quality and design of the outcome. It is his response to the rise of mass production and the consequential devaluation of individual expression.
Drawing from his experience as a blue-collar worker, Faivre points out that every action in a factory or similar environment is meticulously calculated, recorded and assessed, leaving no room for the human element. At the same time, his project strives to inject a sense of expression and personal identity into manufacturing.
