Salvage designer Stuart Haygarth has created this extraordinary eyeglass chandelier by turning 1020 discarded pairs of prescription glasses into an optical masterpiece.
This gorgeous eyeglass chandelier gives off a green glow and the refracted light from the lenses make fluid shadows dance across the walls. Haygarth delivers an impressive new lighting design as well as gives us a new way of looking at reusable materials.
