Wine Bottle Packaging Turns Into a Lamp

Now here’s some inspired packaging design. This wine box by Ciclus coverts into a table lamp with no extra parts required, and surprisingly, it looks fantastic. The box, which houses a bottle of ecologically produced Cava – Spanish sparkling wine – is made with wood from local managed forests and recycled cardboard. The bottom of the box holds the hardware that converts the wine box into a lamp, as well as a CFL bulb.

Smart and beautiful – if only more companies would put such serious thought into the life their products and product packaging will have after their initial intended usage. This product was designed as a corporate gift by Hera Holdings, an ecological waste and resource management group in Spain, so it’s not commercially available, and that’s too bad – but hopefully others will be inspired by their creativity.
