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.
