South African designer Laurie Wiid van Heerden has once again chosen Amorim Cork Insulation' MD Façade expanded cork agglomerate, to implement his most recent work, which evidence suggests is the world's largest cork lamp. Made from 100% natural cork and fully recyclable, the lamp measures 0.9 metres in diameter, and 0.45 metres in the upper section, with a total height of 2.8 metres. Designed and produced by Wiid Design, this is the first piece of a collection that will soon be unveiled in the artist's new studio in Cape Town. The lamp has already been showcased in the Southern Guild Gallery, in an initiative which ran until August 2015 and was also distinguished as one of the "100 Beautiful Things of 100% Design South Africa", presented in the Johannesburg Convention Center, between 6-10 August.
