ReadyMade water bottle chandelier

ReadyMakers:

 

This lamp idea was published in ReadyMade’s book, and I’ve slowly acquired the supplies and tools to finally make it.

 

To cover the soldered cords and old fixture, I chose a Tomoko Fuse corrugated vase cover/lampshade from her Home Decorating with Origami book. I tried many other ideas, like Rizoma’s pleated spiral, but I couldn’t easily work out the right circumferences in his more complicated version.

 

I made the cover from polypropylene (100# Yupo), and it’s velcroed together for easy removal and cleaning. It makes a hexagon to be congruent with the six bottles in an equilateral triangle format.
