Light Your Way with Coffee Filters

It’s unbelievable the way people create art from coffee ”and we’re hardly just talking about the brew. I just learned about LAMPADA, which is an Etsy shop owned by Vilma Silveria Farrell of New York City.Originally from Brazil, Vilma worked as a journalist and an artist in her home country before coming to the United States to be a stay-at-home mom.

Vilma creates unique lamps from recycled coffee filters.

But she’s a pretty busy mom ”she’s continuing her LAMPADA work via her Etsy store, selling devastatingly beautiful lamps that she creates from recycled coffee filters!

“Rather than putting a pen to paper to write a story, I put on my artisan’s hat and dive into the stains of the coffee filters and ideas that make each of my lamps an earth-friendly, original work of art,” she says. “Assembling lighting transforms my state of mind. All I have is my hands and my inspiration…  My inspiration comes from Brazil, land of dark coffee, rich spices and muita alegria.”
