Shari Mendelson

Shari Mendelson has achieved this with the humble plastic bottle, cutting it up into pieces to form ornate vessels that even your gran would be happy to have on her windowsill. I particularly like the pieces where the provenance is clear, with the original shape forming part of the sculpture or the print on the bottle remaining as part of the piece. Not only highlighting our wastefulness, this simple idea also alludes to the value we place on objects.

Bottle filter

Design by: David Rainbird from UK

Designer's own words:
A 2 litre plastic drinks bottle is easily converted into a 1 litre water filter. This reduces the waste of plastic and water, recycles a bottle and rethinks what we drink. Using the same pattern and waterjet cutting, it would be possible to make a version from a glass bottle.
