Glass Block Lamps

From Landfill to Lamps

Hi, I’m Lauren and I founded Lumo Bloc in 2022. Since I started making the lamps I have saved over 2.2Tonnes of building waste from heading to landfill.

Each Lumo Bloc Lamp is made from a used architectural glass block. The blocks are sourced from various commercial and residential projects around New Zealand.

With a bit of care during demolition, followed by a whole lot of restoration; I salvage these cool building elements and repurpose them as lamps; rather than have them be unsustainably demolished and headed to a rubbish tip.

Light and colour can be so impactful on mood and space and can really enhance the vibe of a room. Lumo bloc lamps are soft ambient lighting and are ornamental in function. Each lamp comes with 5 different coloured acrylic lenses that you can manually swap out depending on how you feel.

The Glass Block rests on a hand crafted base. Each is made from sustainably sourced timber and can be customised to suit your interior design aesthetic. We have purposefully designed these sculptural pieces to look great turned off or on.

Every lamp is made to order and is hand made iny little farm shed in Waitoki. My focus is supporting local with components coming from Silverdale, Henderson and Onehunga.
