Clothes Hangers Lamps & Chandeliers by Luís Teixeira

Portuguese designer Luís Teixeira creates furniture and lighting by reusing and recycling mass produced materials — here are his lamps made with disposable plastic hangers.

 
 

Inspired? It's amazing the difference a nice square black lampshade can make!

that's a super-pretty lamp..... the only problem is that it's made from plastic that is not designed to stick around for the long haul. So it likely will not age gracefully... possible yellowing and cracking.....
