Repurposed galvanised dustbin lid Ceiling Light/Pendant Light
From the Dustbin to the Dining Room — Literally
After spotting a galvanised dustbin lid pendant on the BBC's The Great Interior Design Challenge and finding nothing like it online, there was only one thing to do: make one. The result is this — a genuinely repurposed galvanised dustbin lid, transformed into a striking ceiling pendant that's equal parts industrial, playful, and completely unique.
About This Light
Built around a real galvanised dustbin lid with blue flex, galvanised chain, and nickel fittings, this pendant has an honest, utilitarian beauty that works brilliantly in the right space. No two are exactly alike — this is upcycling at its most inventive.
