These elaborate\u00a0chandeliers<\/a>\u00a0might look like they\u2019re made from crystal at a distance\u2014but take a closer look and you\u2019ll see they\u2019re actually crafted from recycled plastic bottles. Czech artist\u00a0Veronika Richterov\u00e1<\/a>\u00a0created these upcycled beauties as part of PET luminaries, a series of working lamps and chandeliers made from colorful PET.<\/p>\n

Previously featured on Inhabitat, Veronika Richterov\u00e1 won our hearts with her\u00a0PET-ART collection<\/a>made up of lifelike fauna and flora crafted from recycled plastic bottles.\u00a0Colossal<\/a>\u00a0spotted the artist\u2019s chandelier project and its current exhibition in Eden Unearthed at Sydney\u2019s Eden Gardens that will run until February 2018.<\/p>\n

Her creative\u00a0light<\/a>\u00a0fixtures are intricately detailed\u2014Richterov\u00e1 cuts and twists the bottles into the desired texture, shape, and patterns, but also preserves enough of the original bottle shape to provoke dialogue about recycling. Richterov\u00e1 drew inspiration for her series from the way\u00a0plastic bottles<\/a>interact with light, and she works with bulbs and cables that give off minimal heat to protect the heat-sensitive sculptures.<\/p>\n
