PET lamps...

PET Lamp. The project developed by Alvaro Catalán de Ocón to provide answers to the pollution generated every day by the plastic bottles. They created a workshop of artesans displaced by guerrilla war in Colombia:

"The way we addressed this problem was to combine it with an ancient artisan resource: the textile tradition. Thus, my idea was to convert an object with a short and specific lifespan into a product enriched by the cosmogony of the local culture."
