Sol LeWitt is considered a founder of both conceptual art and minimal art. He believed that art did not necessarily have to be done by the artist himself, or at all, the idea was art in itself.
LeWitt made more than 1200 wall drawings. He wrote precise instructions for others to use them. The Packlamp Wall drawing 853 was used by Jaap Elzas for a lamp. A smart, 30 cm high mood light with decoration of Wall drawing 853 by Sol Lewitt. Smart because the packaging is also the lamp. More lamp. Less packaging. And therefore less waste.
The gigantic mountain of waste has been a thorn in the side of designer Jaap Elzas for years. A large part of it consists of packaging. Why does plastic, paper or cardboard have to be wrapped around everything? Could packaging and product also be one, Jaap wondered. He got to work with that idea. The result is the Packlamp: You simply turn the packaging over and reveal the lamp. With a beautiful image of a work by Sol Lewitt on it. This lamp is already out of the packaging.
Two lamps by Jaap Elzas have been included in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York.
The work can also be collected (in Stavoren or Amsterdam), parking is no problem.
