A future in plastics

I've been obsessed with Bakelite for years. Though I have never pulled the trigger and bought any for myself, I fantasize that I have a room full of plastic bangles and ashtrays and other kitchy, awesome items. Apparently, artist Mark Davis has brought Bakelite back, repurposing vintage materials with a luxury twist, adding diamond and precious metal studs to his pieces. This domed ring is incredible. Love.
