Details

Silver Lining is a luminous divider that transcends the pandemic’s darkness by turning the vaccine, its emblem, into an attractive decorative element. The product is an abacus born from an upcycling process of borosilicate glass ampoules coming from pharmaceutical industry waste, originally intended for syringe production but discarded due to imperfections. It features a square tubular metal frame, 1.5 mm diameter copper cables, and a natural stone counterweight. The name "Silver Lining" suggests that even during difficult times, there's always a positive aspect to discover, like the bright edge of a cloud showing that the sun is behind it.

The Jury‘s Statement

The luminous room divider transforms discarded glass ampoules into a stylish lighting element. Through the creative use of materials, it bridges functionality and aesthetics, offering a symbolic reflection on the challenges of the pandemic.
