  • AndrewDB, on 05/29/2008, -0/+11Man, such stirring imagery.
  • jsaya, on 05/29/2008, -0/+7What a bloody mess.
  • spudfrog, on 05/29/2008, -0/+7Reminds me of the tampon chandelier.
  • ecomod, on 05/28/2008, -1/+7This is beautiful!
  • johndajap56, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4Too bad most coffee stirrers are wood, damn you Starbucks...

    ps. I Love you
  • zadadka, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4*groans* (but Dugg)
  • Plastic3D, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3I wonder if it's *really* recycled? It would be much easier for a designer to purchase a box of new stirrers to make this lamp.
  • greentime, on 05/28/2008, -0/+2Gorgeous! What a great idea!
  • archigurl, on 05/28/2008, -0/+2Those are coffee stirrers? Who knew they could look so gorgeous.
  • thestrongrope, on 05/28/2008, -1/+3That thing is great, but man, they must have been wired for like two weeks after making this thing. I hope they had a bathroom close by.
  • MrDoug, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2I've NEVER seen a coffee stirrer that looked like that before. I now the little plastic straws...I know the wooden tongue things...but not those.

    Is that seriously a stirrer in the US?
  • DaleoftheUK, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2No "i love lamp" comments yet? Weird.
  • Designliving, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2Its a coffee stirrer from Portugal - read the article....
  • Jack8274, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2With the massive influx of coffee drinkers, this is probably made from a garbage bag from a couple of hours at Starbucks.
  • DomoDigital, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2haha good point, Im going to go with, NOT used.
  • yuah, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1nice :)
  • bixby1, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1Dugg because my idea was to stir coffee with them. This is better.
  • madmondo, on 05/28/2008, -0/+1That is some cool stuff.
  • masanook, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1good ideal
  • albatross5000, on 05/29/2008, -1/+2I've never seen a plastic coffee stirrer that looked anything like those. AND LET ME TELL YOU -- I'VE SEEN QUITE A MANY COFFEE STIRRER. Conspiracy? Yes.
  • Salinesolucion, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1what a clever idea - is this for sale and how much?
  • xz9925, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1its even got that coffee stain glow..
    need to polish it up with some Plus+White toothpaste
  • xz9925, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1RTFA
  • OpCzar, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1Recycled to me means retrieving the base materials the object is made of and making something out of that. This here is just reusing - "artistically". Also, wouldn't the heat of a chandelier-strength lightbulb(s) melt the stirrers?
  • i2kdave, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1finally, we can lay this "global warming" issue to rest
  • MrMinit, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1The only thing I can think of is what piece of art this would be if they've used syringes. Used syringes.
  • xz9925, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1if you look it has a coffee stain glow
    i thought the same thing too.. the one close up shot shows one in a bent/used state but whos not to say it wasnt bent to look that way for that type of image.
  • DomoDigital, on 05/29/2008, -1/+1Read???!!!!!

    Read shmead.... I just skim the article look at the pictures and then comment as if I know what the ***** im talking about!
  • MadHarvey, on 05/29/2008, -0/+0Awesome! Thank you! I have been looking for a great flashlite site to replace my outdated flashlite 1.1 model. This site has flashlite Two-point-*****-One. You sir, a true asset to the digg community!
  • secretsaucetv, on 05/28/2008, -0/+0ha i want one
  • ElectricAngel, on 06/02/2008, -0/+0Just incase!

  • davechase, on 05/28/2008, -0/+0Wow. I wonder if it is worth anything
  • Zedian, on 05/29/2008, -0/+0That really is a sight to behold, I love how the light reflects so beautifully amongst the reflective coffee sticks.

    Too bad here in America we only use those cheap wooden or plastic stirrers.
  • Boarhead, on 07/18/2008, -0/+0Somehow I doubt it looks that good in person..but a nice photo of it
  • willowwolf, on 05/30/2008, -0/+0awesome
  • xz9925, on 05/29/2008, -1/+1RTFA!!
