Trash! An exhibition of Upcycled Lighting by Stage Left Lux

Updated: Sep 24

We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting another exhibition at Banks Mill Studios.


The theme for our exhibition will be Trash! and the impact that we have on the environment and how we can make small changes to make the world a better place.


Stage Left Lux's life blood is in using old unwanted objects to repurpose them into creative lighting features. We take the stuff that some people would throw away and give it a new purpose. We also contribute towards minimising waste by repairing and restoring old broken lamps.


Our exhibition will be on display at Banks Mill Studios in Derby

from Monday 23rd September to Friday 11th October 2024


Join us on Friday 4th October at 6:30 for drinks and nibbles and meet Scott the creative behind Stage Left Lux - Banks Mill Studios, Bridge Street, Derby DE1 3BT

Increasing recycling by just a few percent could divert hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste from landfill.

Next time you go to throw something away, think about if it could be used for something else. Maybe reuse an old Pot Noodle pot for storing paint brushes in,

or a tin can as a plant pot!

Our Mission is to repurpose, reuse and restore


In 2020, Stage Left Lux took on the mission to contribute towards reducing the amount of waste that we collectively send to landfill, by repurposing old unwanted objects into something new.


We do this by upcycling old objects into unique and quirky feature lamps and fixing and restoring old vintage and antique lights and broken light fittings to ensure that they can go on being used.


Thats recycling with a purpose.
