Whether it coordinates with your decor or not, some things get free passes for being eco-friendly examples of recycled objects that would have been wasted otherwise. Such is the case with this Cassette Tape Lamp [1] by Transparent House.

Indeed, while this lamp, made up of used, superfluous cassette tapes possesses a certain '80s aesthetic, it's also disarmingly ethereal — and it hits me right in my green spot. I've got to say, for this: love it!

What about you? Does it hit you in your green spot, too, or your just-plain-ugly spot?
