Congrats, you just discovered May Again’s very first Inspiration Capsule in Mod’arte’s pop-up store in Antwerp!

From discarded bed slats to an iconic light piece: let us present you Rover’s Latto Lamp ed. 1!

The story

This lamp started life as a discarded bed base. The slats, collected from Kringwinkel Stroom and Sleeplife, were carefully dismantled, cut, and reassembled. The frame is made from leftover plywood waste from Megaton Ninove.

Each lamp proudly carries traces of its previous life – subtle marks and scars that reveal the origin of the materials. The result is a warm, one-of-a-kind light object that makes circularity tangible.
