(un)sustainable is a project that consists of 5 lighting devices that use sustainable energy in an unconventional way.

It is a reaction to the "sustainable everything" trend in design, advertising and consuming. (un)sustainable aims to highlight the paradoxical behavior of "environmentally conscious" uber-cosumers by creating and highlighting another paradox. It uses sustainable forms of energy, which are globally recognizable as sources of good / clean energy to produce the opposite effect of the expected one and harm the environment. The devices are connected to the electrical grid and use wind power to sense the intensity at which they need to operate. The operation of the devices ensures that non-green energy is consumed when least needed, while wasting natural resources. The aesthetic of the devices was inspired by Tristan Perich's 1-bit Symphony and the work of Peter Vogel. (un)sustainable has been featured in Core77 's design galleries. This project wouldn't be possible without the very kind donation of anemometer rotors by Inspeed.
