HEATH NASH, FULLCOLOURFORM BALL
Employing the common and often necessary African tradition of re-using waste, South African designer Heath Nash has created an award winning light fixture, made from re-cycled bottles and other plastics. It won Finland's Habitare Ecodesign Prize, judged by world renown lighting designer Ingo Maurer. Nash won for his use of re-cycled materials and because he incorporated his local community by employing people to pick up and sort the plastic. Each piece is unique based on the combinations of the colors of the refuse.
TWO'S COMPANY BOOTH @ GIFT SHOW 2010!!!!
I found this re-cycled plastic bottle light fixture at the Spring NYIGF Show.....
It was hanging above the Two's Company booth .....
I asked if it was for sale & was told it was for display only .... such a shame!!!!
I think it fabulous idea ....... has a great look & is ecologically inspired .......
I am horrified by the islands of plastic that inhabit our oceans and poison our fish!!!
