Second life

Waste transformed into art

Stuart Haygarth collected waste that was washed up onto Kent Island. He created this chandelier from the rubbish that he accumulated. He has taken something as ugly as rubbish and reused it to create something beautiful.

Another piece of work by Haygarth. Optical Chandelier

The 1.5m diameter chandelier, which contains 3,000 lenses, was premiered at the Trash Luxe exhibition at Liberty in London last month. The chandelier is made of lenses from unwanted prescription spectacles.

It’s made of PP and they come in different sizes to fit most of your glass jars.
