Around the frame of a spherical pendant lamp, designer Alkesh Parmar wraps an unexpected shade. Through Studio Arp<\/a>, his ongoing project Citrus Sinensis<\/em> reimagines orange peel waste into a leather-like, organic patchwork fabric that can be applied to an array of functional and decorative objects.<\/p>\n

In biological terms, Citrus sinensis<\/em> refers to the species of sweet citrus achieved by hybridizing pomelos and mandarins to include produce familiar supermarket varieties like Valencia, blood, and navel oranges.<\/p>\n

Parmar salvages discarded rinds. In an intentionally low-tech process he calls APeel, he shapes and stitches the pieces together while still pliable. His lighting design, “APeel Skin,” employs the sewn fabric like a natural screen that both softens and warms its glow.<\/p>\n

The project simultaneously calls on traditional craft practices like sewing and textiles while pushing the boundaries of objects we might not typically associate with that application.<\/p>\n

“My own family background as makers\u2014shoemakers and leather workers\u2014played a significant role in this…” Parmar tells colossal. “The leather-like qualities of orange peel when dried sparked the idea to view it as a material with potential far beyond being mere waste.”<\/p>\n

Studio Arp specializes in lighting design and is founded on the premise that emphasizing a materials-first, hands-on approach\u2014and reducing reliance on large-scale industry\u2014promotes sustainability and fosters deeper connections between people and their surroundings.<\/p>\n
