Hungry Chandelier by Ali Siahvoshi at Fabbian. If you’re a regular GDG reader, you already know about Green Design Girl’s love for reclaiming objects and giving them a second useful [and preferably stylish] life, which is much opposed to automatically sending them off to the local landfill. I have happily featured some cleverly reclaimed projects before, including the reincarnation of shopping carts, clawfooted bathtubs, traffic light lenses and even washing machine drums! So when I came across the humorously named Hungry Chandelier by Ali Siahvoshi at Fabbian, I just had to share. It’s hard to believe that a chandelier that’s made from recycled cutlery – specifically forks, knives and spoons – could remind me of an exquisitely modern fixture that I saw in the window of a design shop in Köln, Germany back in 2003. This window shopping gem turned out to be the Cellula Chandelier by Germany’s Anthologie Quartett, which later made its way over to one of my fave design shops on the planet, Moss in NYC and L.A. Yes, the Hungry Chandelier gave me Cellula flashbacks. It really is that successful and that stylish, but even better, it’s a glittering eco.friendly beauty. A perfect example of eco.chic.
