Translation Waste Can

Description

The basic material is paper-mache, but the construction is sheer artistry and environmentally friendly, too. The designer owes much to a native Thai artist fascination with the beauty of Japanese characters as graphic art. He turned his passion into a business by organizing the collection of Japanese-language magazines from some 35,000 Japanese living in Thailand. A trained staff then sorts, cuts, and reassembles the magazines pages to create functional pieces of art. This waste can marks the ultimate irony: discarded magazines converted into the container you discard them into. Every piece is uniquely different.
