Bubble Chandelier Made With Sixty Plastic Bottles Shines Bright by Shaun Kasperbauer
Shaun Kasperbauer's "Bubble Chandelier" was inspired by the playfully buoyant shape of bubbles. Its body is constructed of two-liter soda bottles, and the shadows it casts mimic the cell-like shape of his soapy muse. The bottles are hand assembled using small bolts and post-consumer waste - each chandelier upcycles sixty plastic bottles. The resulting piece emphasizes the bubbly beauty of materials that are commonly thought to be mundane.

What a gorgeous design – cannot believe this was created from plastic bottles!
Shaun, what a creative and fun light fixture!
Not only a creative work of art, but an extremely important lesson on how to be ‘green’. Great job, Shaun!
These are really beautiful and clever designs BUT l would worry about the heat and the plastic and the chemicals that would be released … am l wrong ?
