Ecoconception

This is close to regenerative design. Instead of cleaning the earth to answer to your needs (think North pacific plastics gyre becomes a vaccum from the sea and Method soap bottles), now comes something different.

How can we use nature’s energy creation capabilities to answer our needs? Let go of foreign oil or even ‘local’ hydroelectricity. Find autonomous, renewable sources of energy by tapping into systems already at work. This bioluminescent lamp is a concept in that direction.
