Future of sustainable lighting takes shape with recycling
SIDE, an international lighting company, presents the world premiere of its revolutionary new range of decorative lamps: ZERO1. This is not simply a new product family, but a true statement of intent, a decisive step toward a future in which aesthetics, innovation and sustainability come together in perfect balance.
A collection born from the desire of SIDE and Simone Mariotto, Senior Designer, to combine high technology and environmental responsibility. ZERO1 is in fact a LED lamp with a 0% waste rate also presented at Euroluce 2025 (Milan Furniture Fair). Its soul is made of 100% recycled and recyclable PETG, a material obtained through the recovery and fraying of water bottles, which is then transformed into design objects of extraordinary elegance. A virtuous process that not only drastically reduces environmental impact, but also gives new life to an everyday waste, ennobling it and transforming it into a refined design object. Each piece in the ZERO1 collection thus becomes a symbol of circular economy and tells a story of rebirth and respect for the planet, thus embodying SIDE’s mission: to build a cleaner, more conscious tomorrow, starting with what lights up our daily lives.
What makes ZERO1 unique is not only its ecological composition, but also the production process by which it is made. SIDE a 100% Italian company in the lighting industry invests in whatever components, machinery and resources are needed for mass production of highly sustainable luminaires. This advanced technology makes it possible to optimize the use of resources at every stage of the process, overcoming the limitations of traditional techniques and opening up new horizons for creativity: previously unthinkable shapes become feasible, lamp surfaces are transformed into veritable stages for plays of light and contrasts that fascinate and enchant. Through this type of printing, each ZERO1 lamp can be shaped with an almost sculptural freedom, generating an evocative dialogue between light and matter, made up of reflections, depths and delicate transparencies that give character to any room.
Another strength of the ZERO1 range is its complete customizability. Shapes, sizes and colours of these lamps are 100% customizable upon customer’s request, thus adapting to different spaces and tastes. Whether for a home environment, a showroom, an hotel, or an art installation, ZERO1 succeeds in meeting every aesthetic and functional need, proving that sustainability and flexibility can go hand in hand. The ZERO1 range bears the creative signature of Simone Mariotto, SIDE’s senior designer, who has been able to translate the company’s ambitions through a refined balance of technological innovation and craftsmanship sensibility that fully reflects SIDE’s deep identity.
With ZERO1, SIDE takes a concrete and decisive step toward sustainable innovation by embracing a manufacturing philosophy that looks to the future without compromise. This is not just an environmentally friendly product, but a new way of thinking about lighting. An approach that looks at design as a tool for change, capable of improving people’s lives and the well-being of the planet.
