Vertical Tube Pendant by Castor

What once was the light source - the humble T8 fluorescent tube - is now the diffuser. The Castor Vertical Tube Pendant is a cylindrical and suspended composition of expired T8's, tightly banded together to provide a uniquely upcycled shade. Excavated from architecturally significant buildings, the fixture is dimmable with the purchase of a standard incandescent dimmer. 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.
