Anneke Jakobs is a designer/applied artist who makes beautiful things. Using mostly found objects and reclaimed materials her sense of design revolves around deconstruction and reconstruction and how those two things can create completely different worlds. Her work is not only beautiful but also thought provoking and opens up a world of possibilities for other like minded designers. My favorite piece is her beautiful cardboard chandelier made from deconstructed banana cartons. The best thing is she has provided the instructions so that you too can get b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

I love this! Bananas are my favorite fruit – and the Chiquita stickers (terrorist stickers they may be) they put on bananas are so cute.

It is amazing what a truly talented artist can do, isn’t it? In my wildest dreams I would never have thought of a banana chandelier.
