Portuguese designer Tó Martins is doing something with old washing machine parts you’d never have expected: he’s making lamps out of them. Using old washing machine drums, Martins creates a lamp — called Rewash — whose shade can be customized with just about anything you’d like. So far, he’s made them with fake grass, cork, measuring tapes, steel roses and tons of other materials. What would you cover yours with?

Oh those lamps are pure love. WOW I’m speechless

Resourceful. I think this collection will do great. Finding ways to re-use something that would be typically be thrown almost always gets consumer support.

Very nice lamps and perfect that they are made with recycled materials. Amazingly, where the designers get ideas from.

Never saw such a perfect alliance between design and recycling. Congrats to the author.
