Eco-Illumination









Recycled glass has the heft, the flaws, the richness, the warmth and the purity that newly produced glass just simply possess. I've been sourcing some pendants for a client and continue to be drawn to recycled glass styles for their beauty and also for their eco-benefits. Here are a few standouts from my searches:

Images above:

1. Partially recycled hand-blown glass is etched into a luminous finish in the Bell Kelp Etched Pendants from Token.

2. Recycled brown bottle glass in hand-forged recycled metal circles of varying sizes create warm illumination in the Eco-Luz: Fascination Kolorado Mini Pendant from Bellacor.

3. I love the raw simplicity of the Industrial Filament Pendant from Home Decorators Collection.
