Retro Recycled Artworks



VINYL RECORD SCULPTURES

Though recycled vinyl art is not something that’s particularly new, none have ever been as stunning as these particular vinyl record sculptures. I say this with such confidence because the creativity, detail and skill behind each piece of art is absolutely impressive.

Created by L017, a design studio comprised of Angelo Bramanti and Giuseppe Siracusa, these vinyl record sculptures take on many forms. From creating abstract configurations to designing more complex and intricate three-dimensional portraits, the two have learned to manipulate this otherwise stiff material into a number of different renderings.

As their vinyl record sculptures show, L017 center their artwork around waste and recycled objects. According to their site, they use “any type of media without any discrimination between the various methods of expression.”

Architecturally Caged Pumps






INVISIBLE SHOE

Designer Andreia Chaves has unveiled her latest Invisible Shoe, which is a more modern version of her glass slipper from 2010.

Previously using mirrors to create an invisible look, Chaves omitted them for the newest piece and opted for a design that showed off the wearer’s foot instead. Showcasing the foot through obtuse triangle cutouts, this pair of pumps is a caged version of its previous reflective self. Featuring a nude heel base for support and protection, this shoe is definitely a step towards a more edgy and defined look.

The Invisible Shoe is super hot and its reincarnation has proven that designer Andreia Chaves is more than just a one-hit wonder when it comes to avant-garde footwear.
