The Recycled Tube Suspension by Castor gives a glimpse of the future of lighting and industrial design. This creative linear pendant light repurposes burnt-out fluorescent tubes, giving them a new life as a stylish home or office decor. The shade is completely constructed of these fluorescent tubes, creating a warmth of radiance that these symbols of the modern office could never have hoped to achieve when they graced various office spaces. The fluorescent tubes comprising the shade are secured using supporting steel bands. The electrical cords are purposefully tangled to further enhance the pendant light's post-industrial aesthetic.

Rock 'n' roll lumberjacks. That pretty much sums up the punk rock-loving, Toronto-based design team of Castor Design. Experiments in upcycling have resulted in an eclectic array of contemporary lighting and accessories. Castor Design pieces are smart, industrial and elegant--and definitely tongue-in-cheek. Salvaged materials are given a new, bright life, such as old burnt-out light bulbs being turned into a shade for another fixture.
