CHAINdeliers


Wat is it?
Chandeliers made entirely out of repurposed old bike parts, are a nifty combination of interior decor and creative upcycling.  

Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.

Why it is cool? 
It's amazing how beautiful en luxurious these chandeliers are, despite they're made of old bikes. These chandeliers don't look old. This is an perfect example beautiful upcycling could be.
But there is more. The designer, Carolina Fontoura Alzaga tries to avoid the world of excess. Everyday billions of new things are brought into the world when perfectly useful things already exist and the problem is that there are finite resources. Through her art and donations from her profits she's making this a better world for us and future generations.
