DIY: Maison Martin Margiela Bottle Lamps

From Janet February 5, 2010

Maison Martin Margiela's Line 13 White Objects Collection was all the rage at the Salone del Mobile in Milan last year. As with his fashion line, Margiela's high-concept home line is based on recycling and reinterpretation. We especially like the Line 13 collection of salvaged bottle lamps, with labels faded in ghostly white, which inspired us to round up the makings for a DIY project of your own.

N.B. To see what Margiela presented at the recent Maison et Objet 2010 in Paris, go to Design Boom.

Above: Pair a favorite empty wine bottle or a vintage find (such as these bottles from Blue Bell Bazaar on Etsy) with the following components:

Nice recycle item, but you did not explain how to make the hole for the cord in the base of the bottle....also, I think that it needs some ballest for stability, doesn't it?

I was wondering about how to make a hole in a glass bottle as well. You need an electric drill and the proper drill bit for glass cutting. I found this on youtube and it's pretty helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr5x63awf1c
