Excerpt:


The green bottle Christmas tree design reused some 2,330 glass bottles, collected over a period of one year from 13 families of Pamplona region in Spain. The 6m high conical structure, resembling a tree, with a diameter of 4.80m at the base used 90% green glass bottles and 10% transparent glass bottles. These glass bottles were then lit using waterproof linear fluorescent lamps Philips TCW060, arranged radially into three circular rings in parallel planes to the base. The light is projected towards the cone’s vertex illuminating the bottles; with colour temperature 840 and total power of only 2.3kW to emit a radiant green light on a street in Spain.
