Probably because I took a lot of nature classes when I was a kid, the way to reuse PET plastic bottles was always limited to planting flowers and grass, or as a flower watering device. Czech sculptor Veronika Richterová created a series of gorgeous chandeliers that completely break the imagination of ordinary people about plastic bottles.

Richterová was very fascinated by this transparent and malleable material. She believed that the transmittance of plastic was very close to that of glass, so she decided to use plastic beverage bottles as the material and started her "lamp-making" career. .

Richterová cuts plastic bottles, bends or straightens them, or directly uses the original shape of the bottle to create works of art that you would never guess were originally plastic bottles. Under Richterovás deliberate control, each lamps unique and unique shape is a unique limited edition lamp, and people can't help but admire the unique atmosphere it expresses!
