Eco-Friendly Lamps by LightenUp Design

When it comes to "green" lighting, I know that I've talked before about choosing energy-efficient CFLs or LEDs as far as your light bulbs go, but it's worth noting that you can buy lamps made out of eco-friendly materials. I love all the "green" posts Apartment Therapy does, which is where I found this cool line of eco-friendly lights by Brooklyn-based lighting and tableware designer, LightenUp Design.

Started in 2004 by designer Lisa Goldberg, LightenUp Design uses all natural materials in the making of their lights. The lamps themselves are crafted out of natural clay, while the paints and glazes used are homemade and non-toxic. Not only that, but all LightenUp lamps are CFL compatible! Not a scrap is wasted at LightenUp - all materials are recycled and new designs are created using "found or reconstituted objects." In addition to lighting, LightenUp is expanding its offering of tableware, including eco-friendly vases, votives, tea sets and more!
