Kandil Lamp gives a new green life to humble kerosene lanterns

By Naresh KumarChauhan /Dec 21 2010

Paying homage to the conventional kerosene lantern, designer Lee Leong Chye of the Little Thoughts Group has come up with an artistic lamp that replaces kerosene with a cleaner power source, possibly LED light, to sustain the environment. Hailed as “Kandil,” the sustainable lamp is made entirely in wood, which gives it an artistic look to become a sculpture for contemporary living rooms. The new lamp is charged by pumping to capture the essence and spirit of the original kerosene lanterns. In short, the Kandil Lamp gives a new green life to humble kerosene lamps.
