HOLLOW illuminates society’s involvement with forests. It is a lamp made from a hollow tree, caused by wood-decay fungus. HOLLOW is an experimental design concept that makes use of unwanted wood. HOLLOW has not only a unique design, but also something important to say. It aims to explore the social and ecological approach to forests, to spread awareness, and to prompt reflection on the place of humanity in the ecosystem.HOLLOW is an open-source design, made with craft techniques, which can be locally produced. This aspect of social sustainability connects to not only the human yearning for creativity, but to also engage communities in the creation of HOLLOW.The project was sponsored by Philips.
