\u201cThe more we bring design for development to the forefront, the brighter our collective future will be.\u201d<\/em> says\u00a0Theunis Snyman,\u00a0Founder & Industrial Designer, Basic Design<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Vancouver-based social enterprise aims\u00a0to redefine the value of waste by giving a second life to landfill-bound materials and creating unique, cruelty-free products. A percentage of sales is donated to the Basic Community Fund in support of social projects designed to help others meet their basic needs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Basic Design has created a stupendous installation titled We Will Learn\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>as part of\u00a0L A M P 2014<\/a>, an international lighting design competition featuring a curated exhibition of 10 jury-selected finalists. The installation is\u00a0selected from over 50 worldwide lighting design entries – with a unique take on the event\u2019s theme of \u2018Fibre\u2019. Basic Design interpreted this theme as \u2018Moral Fibre\u2019 and took the opportunity to make a statement that light is a luxury in many parts of the world.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The installation comprises of a series of solar powered bottle cap lights designed for use in rural villages with little or no access to electricity, where students are often unable to study after dark.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Through the 2014 L A M P design competition, we hope to raise awareness about our vision to bring light to those in need by creating a beautiful installation with unconventional materials.” <\/em>explains\u00a0Snyman<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
