With everyone wanting to be 'green' and environmentally friendly, designer David Gardener has taken it to a place that I know a lot of other people are, making the product part of the packaging. He's created a lamp that is packaged in paper pulp. The packaging also holds the paper pulp shade made for the lamp. Rather than throwing the whole paper part out, a good part of it is reused. I think that this is where design is heading towards. Eventually, if people are not expecting this from their products, it will become necessary regardless. I think it's a challenge most designers are willing to take on.
