In upcycle design you’ll find that there are some favorite objects/materials to work with. One of those favorite objects is a PET bottle. There are quite some nice PET bottle lighting designs. Most of them use the bottle as is. But one of the designs I found really stands out. It’s a very impressive lamp by Walking Chair Design Studio called ‘P.E.T. Light Tree‘.
An upcycle lighting design that to me looks like a tree with frost on it or a blossom tree. Anyway, I think it has a mesmerizing look.
Walking Chair was founded by the two designers Fidel Peugeot and Karl Emilio Pircher in 2003 and within a short time has established itself as an international trademark and a buzzing lab for unconventional design ideas.

The P.E.T. Light Tree was initially developed for the PET Light Show at DMY Design Festival, Berlin 2008. It consists of 6 lights (PET LIGHT 33) with 198 handshaped bottles. Handshaping the bottles means that they get an uneven dented/wrinkled shape by crushing them with your hands. The structure is made from steel with a white powdercoating finishing. The solid steel base guarantees absolute stability. All I can say is that I find it’s such a stunning upcycle lighting design.
