If you're looking for an interesting ceiling lamp to spruce up your kitchen, living room or bedroom decor, why not invest in these stylishly upcycled PET lamps that are made from refurbished plastic bottles?
Not only are these PET lamps incredibly colorful, stylish and minimal, they are also environmentally friendly. Spanish designer Alvaro Catalán de Ocón created these quirky recycled lamps using several colorful plastic bottles. Each bottle is re-melted and shaped into a long, skinny plastic strip. The strips are then woven together with beautiful sheets of wicker to create rustic lamp shades. The PET lamps vary in shape, style, size and color depending on what kinds of plastic bottles are used. You can hang these gorgeous ceiling lamps anywhere in your home and feel good that you helped keep several plastic bottles out of landfills.
