RE/CRAFT

Lantern Stack

An adaptive-reuse light sculpture exploring structure, shadow, and craft. Modular components are hand-woven with reclaimed materials, creating a flat-pack, repairable lamp. The piece invites re-making, turning waste streams into warm, architectural light.

Modularity

Lantern Stack is a kit-of-parts built from standardized rings and spacers that stack into variable-height columns. Each module flat-packs, assembles with common hardware in minutes, and reconfigures without tools, allowing quick prototyping for pop-ups, markets, or lobbies. The system accepts swappable skins (translucent, perforated, mirrored) and simple add-ons (shelves, hooks, signage), so one set can shift between display, seating, or wayfinding. By decoupling form from finish, it prioritizes reuse over rebuild—parts circulate, projects evolve, and material stays in play.
