Recycled PET--from water bottles and the like--has experienced - TopicsExpress



          

Recycled PET--from water bottles and the like--has experienced somewhat of a rennaissance in lighting recently. Featured in our Material Innovation series, Issey Miyakes IN-EI lamps (inspired by origami)show how paper-like PET can appear. Whereas Miyake used pressed fibers, Alvaro Catalán weaved pieces of plastic bottles together to make his lamps; the colored versions were the belles of the ball last year in Milan. Then there is the fuzzy PET panel material in DesignTrees Frankie lamp series. What does this years ICFF hold in store for recylcled PET? We expect the bar to be raised with more material differentiation and certainly hope to see some larger-scale furniture as well. in-ei.artemide/html/prodotti_EN.html catalandeocon/products/pet-lamp-chile/ designtree.co.nz/furniture-lighting/frankie-pendant/ Also pictured: Eco-Fi from Foss Manufacturing and BuzziSpaces PET panels
