The Transglass Recycled Vase (starting at $38 each) was designed by Emma Woffenden & Tord Boontje, and is made from recycled wine and beer bottles. Do you love it, or does it look too much like a frat house decorating strategy to you?

Wow! What's not to love. If you hadn't told me they were beer and wine bottle I never would have known. These are seriously fantastic designs.
1I think they could have done more to make them not look so much like like thier origional purposes, but they're not bad!
2i have always loved these vases and would love to have them in my home. i can't decide which one i like best, though.
3I don't like the color for my home and the styles are very strange and not really practical.
4I kinda liked it until you mentioned the frat house look, and now that's all I see
5they look cool
6Love 'em.
Cut and beak styles have cool, delicate, provocative designs. (Kinda sexy.) Vase 2 is sort of interesting, but doesn't appeal to me nearly as much. I hate the double-vase.
7(Oh, and I'd just like to note that it hasn't slipped past my awareness how expensive "recycled material" items can often be.
While thirty-eight dollars spent on a single vase certainly cannot be described as an exorbitant price-tag, my economical sensibilities urge me to pocket my checkbook and just reuse my own bottles! But plain bottles aren't nearly as gorgeous as these little darlings, and *that* is central to the attraction here.
All contemplated, is the tag "recycled materials" sometimes just an excuse to jack-up the prices? I think it can be. Or maybe my ill-placed observation belongs over at savvysugar.)
8No thanks.
9I like vase 2, but not crazy about the others.
10I don't like the double vase (I think that one does look a little frat house-y) but the others are pretty nice.
11These are so awesome! I love em.
