Flax Five Lighting Series by Christien Meindertsma

Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma has created the Flax Five lighting series as a part of the Flax Project. The light is made from flax which is locally produced and processed in the Netherlands. The lighting series is available at Merchant No. 4. Following is a description from the designer, “Flax is a material which used to be one of the most important textile fibres in the Netherlands, it was grown and processed into all kinds of textiles. Nowadays flax is farmed in much smaller quantities and is mainly shipped to China to be processed further. With the Flax Project Meindertsma aims to make a series of products from flax that are produced locally. From the seed to the end product.”
