British artist Michelle Brand takes the concept of sustainable design to heart by turning the plastic pop bottle into light catching 3-D fabric. Her fanciful flowers define "green" with a fresh clear beauty. Her product range includes pendant lights, window screens and room dividers. "Once a plastic
drinks bottle is empty, it is perceived as redundant and then thrown away. I wanted to challenge this wasteful paradigm."
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.
