Tide knows lighting best...


The Tide Chandelier created by UK designer Stuart Haygarth is made from a collection of human trash washed up on a stretch of a Kent coastline. The clear plastic laundry containers et cetera are collected to form a very large and very unique light fixture... nearly five feet in diameter!

"Each object is different in shape and form, yet they come together to produce one sphere. The sphere is an analogy for the moon which effects the tides which in turn wash up the debris..."

Truly metaphoric...
