LLUVIA (RAIN) LAMP It is a reminder that we must take care of our rivers and seas, without them there would be no life on earth. That is why I choose PET bottles as a base, since they are one of the most contaminating elements in our waters. LLUVIA is inspired by water, the rainfall. Rain as a creative force, which brings life. In the lamp, an element like PET bottles is transformed into something beautiful and functional, extending the life cycle, and preventing them from ending up in our seas. The pieces are made with the vertical union of several PET bottles embroidered with rPET filament. This filament is made for 3D printing machines, but in this case it is given another utility and used as a fiber to embroider, as if the filament were ink and the paper bottles, drawing through the plastic. The shape of the lamp may vary depending on the quantity and size of the bottles and embroidery. They can be used in a lamp group or in units, depending on the space where they want to be placed. There are two ways to obtain the filament, buying directly from brands that make recycled bottle filaments or using the rPet filament waste left by 3D prints, which are short to complete a 3D print but would not be short to weave in PET bottles . Water is recyclable, the only part that is not recyclable is the LED system. PET bottles come from the waste of most houses, as they are containers of water, soda, juice, etc.
