I was really glad we received an email from Carolina Fontoura Alzaga. She makes elegant, Victorian-style chandeliers out of recycled bike parts. I love to see projects where I have to look really hard to figure out what the parts were in their former lives.
"I just discovered your site yesterday (and I'm already ordering from it!) I even forwarded it on to a friend. I was giving up on finding bedding that I liked, so it's nice to know there are others out there who appreciate a mod(ern) sensibility. And your rugs are too die for!"
If you are not fully satisfied with your order, you may return your order within 30 days of your receipt of merchandise for a full refund of the purchase price less shipping fees.

I recently blogged about a new store in Hudson, New York, which appears to have a piece by this designer… Do you know if this is hers?

(NOTE: This was shot on the opening day of the shop, which is called 3FortySeven, and the chandelier was in the midst of installation; the photo does not depict all of its features, which include dozens of crystal attachments to the bike chain armature.)

Love these chandeliers! What a great way to make upcycling beautiful and elegant. I’m looking forward to browsing Carolina’s site.
