One of the problems with the way manufacturing is done in today’s world is the sheer volume of waste that is produced.  Some of it is a byproduct of the process, and some of it is simply a result of mistakes by the workers or machines.  For example, in factories which make cans, tins and other metal containers, there can be hundreds–even thousands–of misprints which must be discarded because they are not able to be sold.

One artist has salvaged this misprinted sheet metal and used it to make stunning Moroccan-inspired themed lanterns that can lend ambience to either an indoor or outdoor space.  These colorful lamps come in two shapes:  round and cylindrical.  They have hundreds of tiny openings which allow a lit tealight candle to illuminate the room with a magical glow.

Imagine your next BBQ or evening party decorated with these festive lanterns.  Each misprint metal lamp is $69 and can be purchased on Viva Terra.
