A few months ago I showed the ‘Hangelier 2.1” by Organelle Design, an independent design studio based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. A great upcycle chandelier made of wooden hangers. This time I want to show you what they did with plastic bottles. Organelle took PET plastic bottles, galvanized poultry wire, bike rims and zip ties and turned it into a mesmerizing ball of light, the ‘150 Litre Chandelier‘. Incredible what you can do with these simple materials and items.
This piece was part of a volunteer based project for the Vancouver Women’s Health Collective in conjunction with UBC SALA. Many have donated services and funds to the design/build initiative.
I have a small favor to ask. Thousands are visiting upcycleDZINE for upcycle design inspiration every month. Readers in more than 100 countries around the world are now able to support financially.
upcycleDZINE is a completely independent niche site, is very work-intensive, and offers tons of unique information for free.
To keep upcycleDZINE running, I’m asking you for your support.
Your contribution will allow me to:
– meet the hosting costs
– upgrade to keep track of traffic increases
– add new content, and keep improving the older content
– add new functionalities to this site
– improve how it works and how it looks
– and last but not least, my daily dose of coffee 🙂
Again, all contributions will be reinvested into the aforementioned associated costs of running this blog and will help ensure the ongoing quest for quality upcycle design.
Your kindness and generosity will be greatly appreciated and will give me the motivation to continue.
Every contribution, however big or small, is so valuable for the future of upcycleDZINE. Support today from as little as $2 – it only takes a minute. Thank you.
