Notes Design

We love the sound of recycling which makes this Chiquita Chandelier by Dutch designer Anneke Jakobs a welcome surprise. It's been a while (2003) that Anneke started cutting out banana shapes from Chiquita cartons that she rescued from the streets during her college years.

Today, Anneke enjoys some credits in the latest (greener than ever) Bright magazine where we spotted her work. She mentions: "At the end it's everyone's choice to spend their time or their money on something." and appropriately offers a digital manual (pdf) for download so we can spend some time making a chandelier ourselves.

If you don't want bananas to rock your ceiling, you might want to play with wine glasses, ballpoints or coffee stirrers.
