Eco Design Award in Sapporo, Japan
The Eco Design Award in Sapporo, northern Japan, is a small but growing event inviting designers to think about materials and shapes, and come up with great design. Last year, the lovely handmade recycled wine bottle lamp shown here won the Grand Prix. Designed by Kusumoto Sukehiro at ni-un pet, a glass artist based in a very small wooden house, who has quite a following at least in Japan (and Finland). SECCO sells it online for 39,000 yen.

I love the wine bottle lamp above. What a great idea and environmentally friendly as well.

Fantastic! I could use a lamp like that. I’ve done some glass work in the past. I wonder if I’ll be able to do a mini lamp like this out of used beer bottles.

As everyone else has said, this is a truly beautiful lighting fixture. I would love to have something like this in my house, but I wonder if you could request that the artist makes one with the bottles of your choosing. I would love get one made out of champagne bottles I save from my wedding.
