Young designers show paper glasses and aluminium-foam lightbulbs in Milan

Emerging designers explored sustainability and everyday designs for the Shared Matter exhibition at Milan design week, which had a focus on international collaboration.

On show inside the pastel-blue gallery of Spaziovento in Milan's central Brera district, Shared Matter opened with a ceiling-hung installation of the Re27 lightbulb by Paris and Lausanne-based Iiode.

Made partly out of aluminium foam from recycled cans, the lightbulb was designed to be more sustainable than regular LED lights.
