![Cebu Sphere Lamp by Roost @ Velocity
I came across these interesting fixtures last year, but have heard that they are currently featured in the Spring issue of Oprah’s O at Home magazine, so we’ll probably be seeing more of them on the design circuit.
What I found instantly appealing about the Cebu Sphere Lamp is the textural quality and its ability to reflect a gorgeous light pattern. Even more impressive is the fact that the white shade is actually made from repurposed fishing line. Yes, fishing line – is there anything that can’t be repurposed these days? I’m in awe of the creativity that I am seeing on the eco.design front. It is truly inspiring.
The rustic “twigs” that you see weaving in and out of the shade are vines [see next post for a close up]. All of it is skillfully wrapped around a strong metal armature. Of course, Green Design Girl hopes that you would pop in an energy-saving CFL to really up Cebu’s eco.smart status.
The folks at Roost create Cebu in 18”, 24” and 30” diameters and include a 12 ft cord with a plug end with each globe.](http://media.tumblr.com/JEVcJTTe66jucy3rfEbIxXX3_500.jpg)
