"The Unemployed Barista": How Bar Bottles Become Lamps and Decorative Objects (VIDEO)

Greta Bramieri For over six years, she ran a bar. In 2020, the pandemic, which forced us to stay home for a long time, also halted her work. But Greta didn't give up and found a way to restart, focusing entirely on creativity. She recovered the entire collection of empty bottles her husband had kept in the bar and began transforming them into home decor.

This is how the project was born in 2021 “The unemployed barmaid”, an e-commerce site where you can buy dispensers, lamps, lanterns, candles, and vases handmade with bottles recovered from clubs and discos that wish to donate them.
