Emergency Lantern
21x23cm
Lantern has been designed to replace in case of occurred emergency electrical light.
It happens that either the electrical light or the bulb itself just turns off. You run around the apartment searching for the glow. Instead, there is your usual standing lamp and the lantern with build in candle. You always know where it is, and what is the most important, no need for frustration and going through stuff.
Lantern has been built out of totally recyclable paper pulp.
May be made out of just a paper pulp, or what I did; I have added a bit of salt, potato flour and wallpaper glue to keep the paper consistency as firm as possible with a hint of glow.
Thin layer of the paper is enough to keep the paper solid. Lantern is a disposable product. After the candle totally melts, lantern is ready for replacement. That is why it has been made out of one of the cheapest materials that are paper.
Lantern has very easy to operate steel spring, fix in to the paper construction. Therefore it is the efficient to take out.
Product is totally environmentally aware. It’s mainly an indoor good. May be destroyed/recycled within home surrounding. Very easy to reproduce. Mould/cast production.
May be produced everywhere as long as the place of reproduction holds any of the paper supplies.
