Trend Watch: Plastic Bottle Lighting

11-13-2008michelle1.jpgWow, all of a sudden we’ve seen a lot of upcycled plastic bottle light fixtures. First it was our post about Michelle Brand’s bottle bottom lights, and then we started noticing this creative reuse all over the place. While the plastic bottle battle continues, we love that people have gone beyond merely recycling, and have transformed the ubiquitous plastic bottle into something beyond recognition.
