I plan to sustainably produce interior lighting. A central theme will be buttons, but my design progression and thought development is quite plastic, so may organically advance through the creative process. I am going to ask people to donate buttons from old clothes that they plan to throw out. I will also take some from charity shops, my house, garage and college. I will also diversify the materials used, with acrylic cast offs, and cut off pieces, using card board models.

As my designs progressed, I found that the cardboard model box I made as a template for an acrylic one actually formed a really good light box itself. The use of recycled cardboard would make the project sustainable. It is important for the future to use recycled materials because the Earth's natural resources are going to end someday, so we have to learn how to live without them. Working within the scope of recycled materials means you have to be even more creative.

I did not have any difficulties finding prominent designers who use recycled materials, although it seems there aren't many.
