I don’t know about the wine glasses, what is the source? Surely he has not collected 1000′s to keep making these things, so he’s buying them and not simply recycling to keep up with supply and demand which defeats the purpose right?

it’s not just about that, it’s about the process that the items go though, like plastic, lots of pullution to make the plastic in the 1st place so if we don’t have to make as much, it’s green!!

I went to an art school and I am sad to report that nearly all projects made from “recycled” goods invariably were found in the trash months later. “Garbage” art just adds another stop before these objects find themselves in landfills.

I like the innovative ideas that these designers have. Even if there are objections to the sale of these goods (whether in the pricing, the ‘greeniness’ or the necessity, which seem to be the main gripes), we could learn from them how we could make beautiful use of our old junk that would otherwise go to land fill. I love the idea of seeing an everyday object differently and making creative use of it.

When I need a little atmosphere around the dinner table, I just use a truck tire, some gasoline, a match and voila! I hope that the chandelier’s description as “disposable” is deliberately flippant and not really some injection molder’s wet dream.
