The Corner Lamp is an adjustable table lamp, made of 99% reclaimed metal – discarded ‘key clamp’ railings and the top of a nitrous oxide canister, found on the streets of Park Royal.

The lamp was made as part of the Circular Economy School – a new programme in Park Royal, where local young people can learn how to make sustainable products from waste materials – and gain real skills they need for careers in the circular economy.

It was designed and made by Anas Jimaale, Lotte de Kruijff and Milans Kleins, in workshops led by Absolute Beginners. All the young people were paid London Living Wage for their time on the project.

The young people used hand tools for the majority of the work, only using a pillar drill and a Dremel to finish each lamp. We estimate that each lamp created less than 10g of CO2 in its production (not including the fitting).

The fitting inside is new, and the lamp has been tested to meet UKCA standards. Supplied with a 2W LED bulb.

Dimensions: 25.5 cm wide x 25.5cm deep x 44cm high.

Please note – this product is made from reclaimed materials. As such, each one will be slightly different, and may have marks and scratches from its previous life.

The Circular Economy School is run by Absolute Beginners, Recollective and Rescued Clay, three social enterprises based in Minerva Works, and is funded by the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation. The workshops to produce this lamp were led by Tom James and Shanayah Dadral.
