Thanks to the folks at Notcot, I found this beautiful video about an installation artist speaking about and showing her latest work, called Unwoven Light.  Watch the video and have your day brightened!

I came across this company via the core77 blog.

Toronto-based design group Castor gets called a lot of names, especially sustainable—that S word whose egregious misuse irks us so. Not that Castor isn’t sustainable, there are just so many better ways to describe them.

As far as their actual products are concerned, we suggest descriptors like recycled, or perhaps upcycled. The short doc, Castor is French For Beaver (it is—we checked), recently made by Carling Acthim and Lana Mauro, takes a closer look at two of Castor’s best known lighting designs, the Tank Light and the Tube Light, both of which re-purpose cast off materials like old fire extinguishers and burnt out halogen tubes and turn them into hanging light fixtures whose final form is completely removed from their previous lives.

Here are some stills of their final products.

I just watched and fell in love with the aesthetics of this short film. One of the reasons why is that my father has a model railroad and this effect reminds me of the trains… I think when I was little I imagined that the trains and people would come to life in the model railroad and run around like this video! Enjoy!
