comments: tord boontje and emma woffenden designed the tranglass collection with recycled wine and beer bottles. it's amazing the range they were able to create with such simple materials. it was too difficult to edit down the many photos available on their website. each one was more beautiful than the next and i just couldn't resist. some of these items are available online at artecnica. yes, yes and yes.
