Stunning Decon Light Made from Discarded Fencing Materials by
Constructed from discarded fencing materials, Kate Rusek's Decon Lamp is made of LDPE fence slats and waste bailing wire in a combination that reveals a new perspective of these mundane materials. Taking cues from the former companion chain-link fence, the lamp is constructed as a flexible grid. The piece highlights the value in materials that often seem forgettable and disposable. Combined with low-energy LED bulbs, the design engages the disengaged in discussing issues of waste, conservation, and resource use.

I am delighted to see this amazing use of materials, and design, and hope Kate continues to help re-shape our planet as well!!!
Beautiful!!!!
Really spectacular! I like the way it segments the light in each direction. And that fencing would never have seen a reuse!
Best one by far
This is a wonderful design. Thank you for showcasing it and congratulations Kate…
This really is a cool decon light. I don’t think I could hang it in my home, but it looks the kind of fixture you’d see at a hipster bar or a contemporary art show. In fact, I could totally see Dan Steinhilber doing an exhibit using fencing materials.
