sustainable lampshades

What to do with all those bottles that don’t get recycled? Sarah Turner from Eco Art & Design has innovatively designed lighting fixtures to add a solution and draw attention to the growing problem. She states that:

It is estimated that only 5.5% of plastic drinks bottles are recycled in the UK. So these lights aim to do something creative with them and overall save a few bottles from the landfill sites.

And to top that she creates lovely decorative objects that we can proudly display in our interiors. I wish all products were designed with a similar sensitivity to the environment.

This design was awarded 2nd place @ Innovation Nation Competition 2009
