Coffee grounds rebrewed into lighting
So after all the extra processing, how much would one of these lamps cost to make, let alone how much is the designer charging for them?

It really doesn't matter because whatever it costs to make, the users who do buy them, if any will still pay an arm and a leg for this waste which is waste and should better be left on the compost heap where it really belongs.

I don't know how widespread this practice really is, but given the current employment environment, it is good to be armed with knowledge about what to do. Be careful: if you are already employed and your company has as a social media "rules of engagement" policy.

Coffee Grounds
I am not surprised coffee grounds can be part of the future's lighting. Just as I am not surprised should the Hudson Hornet be reincarnated and used as an interspace vehicle. However, for the meantime, I will continue to use coffee grounds for 2 specific results:
1) Ants, and various other insects, do not like coffee grounds, so I use that in my garden;
2) Coffee grounds, when placed into dirt, draw earthworms, so I use that in my garden.
One of the beneficial usages of coffee grounds, should you be so inclined, is the cuppa.

What a waste of perfectly good waste material
If you can replace dirt at racetracks for horses with composites including old discarded underwear, I guess you can make light fixtures out of old coffee grounds, or recycled old discarded underwear. These lights may smell like coffee as they warm up, but I'm not so sure about the charming frangrance issued by lights made from recycled underpants. Although the racetrack use is good (fewer injuries for the horses), I'm not really happy about the light fixtures, etc. for the coffee grounds, which should be used (my opinion) to grow food, etc. Maybe they could put it into chicken feed and we can have mocha flavored eggs in the morning.

mocha flavored eggs
hmmm. If you could just work some bacon into those eggs, then you'd have something...
