Green trend in design: Plastic Bottle Lighting Decor by Michelle Brand

Michelle Brand  have designed an aesthetic and decorative fabric from which most people in the western world would perceive to be waste/rubbish. The fabric is composed of plastic drinks bottle bases, which have been cut, sanded and then tagged together. She loves seeing design opportunities where most people only see problems.

Fashioned as screens, curtains or room dividers, Michelle Brand strings together the flower-like bottoms of plastic bottles for her repurposed creations.

Michelle’s pieces are made-to-order.

The Flowerfall is a window dressing that can be used as a privacy screen, with a similar effect to the currently popular patterned window film.

The Cascade is more of a room divider or dramatic accent, and Blossom finds the bottle bottoms painted and attached to a string of LED lights.
