This Maze Lamp is by Dutch designer Stijn van Aardenne. The fabrication process is quite novel:
"No two Maze Lamps are alike," van Aardenne writes. "They all start with a unique seamless pattern that is extruded around a rotating axis on a 3D printer."
As for the material, "plastic from shredded refrigerators [is] the main ingredient!"
He also makes a taller floorstanding version:
"As a designer I like to focus on the process as much as on the end product itself; the way of creating dictates the final form and shape of an object. Working within the boundaries of a certain technique forces you to come up with solutions and new perspectives on how to make things work. Using an industrial scale 3D printer to translate computer generated codes into a tactile and playful shape, results in an ever lasting flow of unique objects made from recycled plastics."
The tabletop model runs €250 (USD $277), and the floor lamp is €1,600 (USD $1,774).

Jokes aside, it's an interesting concept of using less precise materials where they aren't needed.
The uniqueness appeals to me. Dreaming of a version of the lamp that would look like the Guggenheim in NYC. However, even the table lamp is outside my budget.
