This cascading fabric is designed by British artist Michelle Brand. Michelle Brand’s flower-like Cascade curtains are made from plastic bottle bases and tag ties. Michelle cuts, sands, and strings together recycled bottles to create this light catching fabric.

“The root of my interests lies in sustainable waste management. At present it has manifested itself into a designer maker practice. I have designed an aesthetic and decorative fabric from which most people in the western world would perceive to be waste/rubbish. The fabric is composed of plastic drinks bottle bases, which have been cut,sanded and then tagged together. I love seeing design opportunities where most people only see problems.”
