Through the globalization and the continuously growing possibilities by -among others- the internet, most of the people are in movement all the time and their interests and loyalty do not remain at the same space for long, or as well with their products. This time-spirit comes out of the Trash Me Table Lamp which has been designed by the American designer Victor Vetterlein for & Tradition in the year 2010.

The concept behind the Trash Me lamp is the transience. Victor Vetterlein included in his design of his lamp that most of the products would be less interesting for their owners after a short while and accordingly they aren't long lasting.The design of Trash Me with it is the humorous confrontation with this durability and short life of things.

The Trash Me lamp consists of paper making which is sprayed on the surface of the form, drying there. Both halves of the lamp's body are fixed to each other and include the necessary electronics as well as the illuminant. Trash Me can be departed easily and divided in single parts. If the lamp stops interesting its owner, one can use its parts otherwise or recycle them so that they can become something new.
