The Ginger Restaurant ceiling is made of recycled wine bottles for better acoustics

Seems like interior designers these days are sure taking the concept of recycling seriously. That’s probably why a Buenos Aires restaurant has shunned the use of wood for acoustics, instead opting for recycled bottles! The Ginger Restaurant pulled out some 5,000 wine bottles from trash, recycled them, and has given them a new job-profile, improving the acoustics of the restaurant. An artificial ceiling that lies beneath the actual ceiling, this one with all the recycled bottles uses a metal net, keeping them all in place. The curved shape of the bottles helps break the sound waves. That’s not all. The walls too use recycled bottles lined up in different shades of green, amber and transparent.

One thing’s for sure. The walls and ceilings of this restaurant are sure to leave you thirsty, with all those wine bottles around.
