A rectangular block joining pale wood at each end to a mint-green plastic centre, the plastic moulded into fine vertical ridges with a row of small bumps along the top.
  • The block face-on, the mint-green plastic band gripping pale wood on each side with its scalloped edges interlocking.

This recycled plastic joinery made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was originally a drinking bottle and has been upcycled to join ash and cherry wood blocks. This PET exemplifies London-based designer Micaella Pedros’ Joining Bottles technique of repurposing plastic drinking bottles to join wood pieces.
