Lionel Jadot

Deadline : April 19, 2026

This project invites designers and makers to rethink industrial glass containers as raw materials for innovative product creation.

The objective is to design lighting fixtures for high-traffic public spaces: such as hotels, bars, and restaurants that incorporate these glass containers.

Co-designed by renowned designer Lionel Jadot, the brief calls for the development of an architectural component.

The goal is to create a desirable product that reflects care, transformation, and sustainability, and that can be integrated into one of Lionel's building sites.

Can we do anything with the material?

Yes and no. You have complete autonomy on the creative aspect of what you create. However, we’ll have to sign a short convention stating that you agree to tell us what has been done with the material (e.g. 15,000 went into the creation; 7,500 were broken during the prototype) and engage yourself to recycle anything that you’re not going to keep with our partner Veolia following our sustainability principles.

Can I use the recovered materials for a personal project, outside of the open calls?

Yes, it’s possible. The TRY AGAIN? materials can be used for independent or personal projects, as long as they align with the initiative’s values and principles. Simply go to the Materials page, select the material you’d like to work with, and click “Submit my project”.

Yes, you can. Each open call has its own brief and selection process, and participants are welcome to submit different proposals to multiple calls simultaneously
