EternaLight was designed to be the last solution for sustainable lighting. WIth the adjustable heights and orientation of the light, and the separable parts, this light is easily repairable and can meet a lot of different needs. The lamp shade is molded using mycelium foam, while the stand of the light was built using wood which was stained by coffee.

Parsons School of Design has offered students innovative approaches to education since its founding in 1896. Today we’re the only American art and design school within a comprehensive university, The New School, which also houses a rigorous liberal arts college and a progressive performing arts school. Our undergraduate and graduate programs, offered through Parsons’ five schools, immerse students in focused training, interdisciplinary inquiry, and practice-based collaborative learning. Here creators and scholars master established art and design fields and advance emerging ones while studying a range of university disciplines.
