Recycled Chopsticks Table Lamps

090407fei_detail.jpgMade from post-consumer chopsticks, this series of lamps invites inquisitive eyes and the potential for a DIY project. The stained wood chopsticks (in either a natural or a darker wood color) are combined in a variety of repetitive patterns, creating warm lighting. Pictured left, the Fei style, for $42.

The chopsticks table lamps come in 9 styles, shown below, and run between $42 and $46 each.

This looks like a really easy and fun weekend project, and a good way to use up the zillions of extra chopsticks everyone has. Fei, Hua, Mey, and Pong would be especially easy to copy, because they don't even require a frame to glue the sticks to.

The manufacturer of at least some of these products is Kwytza Kraft -- the company's Web site tells more about where they get their chopsticks and so on.
