More recycled work from Swiss designer Anne-Cécile Rappa: Najah, Lazara and Ilham are a series of lights made of found objects sheathed in knitted plastic bags.
The Najah table lamp (top image) re-purposes a salad bowl as the lamp shade.
Lazara (second and third images) is a floor standing lamp which makes use of a rubbish bin as the light shade.
Lazara also reuses an existing lamp base (above).
Pendant light Ilham (above) uses a bucket as the shade. The lights are produced in collaboration with a woman’s association in Morocco.

I really liked this when I saw it in Milan – made of recycled materials but looks a beautiful and very useable product that hardly gives a hint of what its made of.
Nice to see it featured here Anne-Cécile!
best wishes from Singapore

i really like the pendant light and would like one for my new flat, I will have a look on the designers web site, (maybe i can commission a special version of it? – assuming that they are one offish due to the use of found objects),
