Cassava is one of the crops that is being cultivated the most in Thailand and during certain times of the year, farmers face an excessive supply of it, causing a huge amount of waste and pollution. Wanting to find a solution to this problem and a use for all the waste material, designer Anon Pairot created ‘Penta’, a pendant lamp that carries an aesthetic value and is environmentally friendly.
The modular components create no waste and optimize the form which references the cassava leafs themselves. Further, any defective or damaged part can be reprocessed and blended into a new lamp.
