SOLINFO SUSTAINABILITY WEEK
In celebration of World Sustainability Day on October 30th, we’re shining a light on eco-conscious design. This week, explore sustainable innovations in lighting, furniture, and accessories, and see how leading brands are paving the way toward a greener future.
SUSTAINABLE LIGHTING – Illuminating a greener future
BOMMA ‘Fragments’: From Waste to Original Gemstones
Czech brand BOMMA presents its Fragments Lighting Collection, crafted from Fragmentglass—an innovative material upcycled from glass shards. With sustainability at its core, BOMMA transforms discarded glass into unique, character-rich panels shaped by the melting process.
Each Fragmentglass panel boasts irregular bubbles, iron flecks, and textures that would traditionally be considered flaws but are embraced here as elements of beauty. Available in Black, White, and Flamingo Mint, the collection embodies BOMMA’s bold approach to craftsmanship and design.
The Fragments Collection offers pendant lights in two sizes with refined mountings in brushed gold or anthracite. Its modular design allows for creative, custom installations that blend sustainability with personalized elegance.
IQ LUX: Pioneering Net-Zero Lighting
IQ LUX is redefining sustainable lighting with its net-zero goal, initiated in 2023. By integrating CO2-neutral production and cutting-edge 3D printing technology, the brand leads the way in eco-friendly innovation.
At the heart of IQ LUX’s sustainability efforts are bio-based and recycled materials, including PLA (a biodegradable material from renewable sources like corn starch) and recycled PET from plastic bottles. Future plans include the development of CO2-negative filaments, further advancing their sustainability goals.
Produced in a solar-powered facility in Graz, Austria, IQ LUX’s lighting solutions—from spotlights to custom luminaires—are designed to inspire both spaces and change.

Faro: Advocating Circularity through Sustainable Design
Faro’s latest collections—Tierra, Mar, and Aire—designed by Héctor Serrano, champion circularity in lighting design. These collections are produced through large-scale 3D printing, using 100% recycled and recyclable materials, and made locally on demand to reduce the environmental impact of storage and transportation.
Tierra evokes the warmth of beehives and the importance of biodiversity, using PLA bioplastic mixed with recycled pine cellulose to create pendant lights that radiate warmth and elegance.
Mar draws inspiration from sea urchins, crafted from 75% recycled fishing nets, addressing marine pollution while creating sinuous, ocean-inspired designs.
Aire is made from 100% recycled PETG, resembling airy bubbles that fill spaces with a balance of elegance and technological precision. Its transparent finish diffuses light in magical ways, while embodying sustainability at its core.
