Make: Online : Technoscrap
This is a great use for all those old CRT’s that are being replaced by LCD’s. I would love to work in an environment with lighting like this. Technoscrap is a project on reuse of electronic waste in architecture and interior design. From an investigation of visual qualities of mechanical / electronic waste and observation of a natural growth in man made environment grew some concepts of placing disposed PCs and TVs back into our direct environment. As a product, as a decoration and as a statement. More about TechnoscrapA home should be an expression of who you are. Sure, when you're young and broke, your room or apartment might be an expression of who your parents or the people who donate to Goodwill are, but gradually you collect items that express your personality, whether you receive them as gifts or purchase them yourself. If you are a technologically oriented geek, there are plenty of manufacturers and vendors catering to your tastes in home decor.
