Gam, the Korean word for persimmon, comes from the centuries-old practice of hanging the fruit on strings to dry, extending its life far beyond what nature intended. This lamp reimagines that tradition through adaptive reuse: persimmon leather, salvaged from food waste, is pieced into a patchwork inspired by bojagi, the traditional Korean textile art of assembling fabric scraps into something whole and beautiful. Gam asks what it means to waste nothing and finds the answer in light.
