Stuart Haygarth, a London designer, sees beauty in the discarded and unwanted. He combines quantities of similar items into beautiful lighting design. See what he does with 1,000 pairs of glasses, 4,500 lenses, 1,000 party poppers and more ↓

Tide (constructed from Kent coastline debris, mostly translucent plastics)

Tail Light

Millennium (1,000 party poppers from London New Years 2000 celebration)

Shadey Family- a liniear chandelier (constructed from unwanted lamp shades)

Spectacle (constructed from 1,000 pairs of prescription specs)

Optical (constructed from 4,500 prescription lenses)

He explains his process as collecting large quantities of objects, categorizing and assembling them "in a way that transforms their meaning. [His] work is about giving banal and overlooked objects a new significance. The finished piece of work takes various forms such as chandeliers, installations, functional and sculptural objects." Objective achieved.
