Stockholm 2013: Swedish designers Claesson Koivisto Rune used recycled aluminium to create these small and colourful pendant lamps for Swedish lighting brand Wästberg.
The W131 lamps by Claesson Koivisto Rune for Wästberg are made from sand-cast recycled aluminium and fitted with halogen reflector bulbs.
The lamps come in eight colours and were launched at this week's Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, which continues until 9 February.

Here's some more information from the designers:
Claesson Koivisto Rune w131
A pendant lamp is a very old concept. While Wästberg is a very forward thinking, high technological lighting manufacturer. So when designing a new pendant lamp for Wästberg you want to bridge past with present.
First, the w131 is small. Surprisingly small. Equipped with reflector halogen it gives good light. So the lamp is extremely versatile as to where to use.
Second, it is tactile and friendly. Sand-cast recycled aluminium is both beautiful and environmentally sound. Any imperfections of the metal are with purpose. The textile cord adds softness. We will use this lamp both at home and for contract.
