Upgrade by Tomas Kral

I normally don't like decoration, but I thought this collection of glass objects by Slovakain designer Tomas Kral is rather ingenious and witty.
Called Upgrade, the collection (which was exhibited at last month's 100% Design in London) involves taking normally processes used to engrave and gild crystal glass and applying them to used consumer/industrial jars and bottles. So a lowly ketchup bottle becomes something of value and beauty.

It is also ironic that Slovakia is a country known for their fine glass making and elevating something that's very pedestrian and utilitarian to something valued is recycling at its finest.
