Things I like | Roxy Russells Medusea Collection

These jellyfish lamps are made of a form of PET, a recyclable plastic, by designer Roxy Russel. An ironic design really.

“The ocean is such a boundless source of inspiration for myself and many other people, in all fields. Unfortunately, I am also very concerned about the fragile state of it’s very complex eco-system. I wanted to bring to the surface, and illuminate the growing problem of plastic polluting our oceans in a way that makes people inspired to help. We have a floating island of plastic garbage in the Pacific that is twice the size of Texas. Up to 70 percent of this plastic is below the surface, broken down into tiny pieces,becoming a toxic part of the eco-system. Countless fish and birds die from mistaking these bits for food." (Roxy Russel in an interview with Victor Van Gasbeek.)
