Flowerball-multicolour-medium, Pod and Flowerball-pink-small from the Other People's Rubbish Collection by Heath Nash

As a means of promoting the idea of recycling to the South African public, Heath Nash created the "Other People's Rubbish" pendant lighting collection. Utilizing galvanized steel wire and re-purposed post-consumer plastic waste products, each light fixture is an amalgamation of South African skill and modern design. In the creation of the flower light fixtures, colored plastic flowers are attached to handmade wire structures; while the bases of milk cartons and fabric softener bottle handles are used to create the more structured light fixtures.
