A'dam Spoke is a lamp made from Amsterdam's discarded bicycle wheels and chains. The Dutch capital city has more bikes than residents. Spoke gives a second life to those bike parts that end up broken in the trash. All production is done in The Netherlands
The wheels are collected from bike mechanics around Amsterdam. After collection, we disassemble the wheels and clean the spokes and chains through four cleaning processes. Nevertheless, some bike residue and scratches will remain visible. Many companies would throw these parts out – but not us. We believe it adds to the lamp's beauty and represents a real picture of the world – which consist of bumps and scratches, not just Instagram-worthy picnics in the park.
Each A'dam Spoke lamp will be, although similar, completely unique.
We have made a big effort of making the A'dam Spoke a modular product, which in general is a concept that we try to implement in any of our products. The reason for this is, that modular products are made to be repaired in case it would be damaged, because modular design consists of objects that are not permanently fixed. A'dam Spoke is not only redusing waste, it's preventing becoming waste by BEING MODULAR!
