Reuse x Design

Using recycled materials to be more friendly to our earth is a good idea. However the manufacturing process it takes of recycling products are still using energy. The question is how can we be more creative in the design process while creating reusable-wise products?

Re Glow

The ReGlow lamp from Shelley Spicuzza likes to recycle, but skips a lot of steps in between. By screwing in empty, unlabeled plastic drink bottles into the center sphere’s threaded holes, the lamp creates a burst of light and refraction. The fixture also lets you affect the color of light through the type of bottle used, so click through if you want to see the Coca Cola version.

Rcyclia

The German artist works with recycled bits like twist ties, birdfood bags, dishcloths and, as pictured here, old shirts. Be sure to click every ring; behind each is a mini slide show of more whimsical pieces.

Designer: Dunja Karabaic
