Bottle caps


In the article "Design objects from recycled bottle caps" on Core77.com, the blogger reviewed a new design from Anthanassios Babalis. He created a tote bag and a stool out of bottle caps.

While this design will not be the next fad of the future, I find it pretty inventive. It allows for color patterns and interesting shapes. Bottle caps are one of those things that most people have in their house but probably would not think to use in such a way. This design also works well because it was for the “Green Design Festival 2008” and obviously fits the requirments- recycling old materials to make a new product that can be used.
