trash it in green style

I always love when two parties come together to create something truly unique like these chic Artala trash cans that are biodegradable.

Umbra was founded in 1979 dedicated to design and manufacture contemporary and affordable objects for the home. For this project the company teamed up with the New York based artist Joshua Davis to create three designs in collaboration with the designer David Quan. The resulting Artala cans come in red, kiwi or ocean and carry the artist’s signature style of patterns that combine computer art and technology yet feel very poetic. To me they look like Jackson Pollack-meets-Emilio Pucci with their bold, brightly colored graphics that seem slightly psychedelic. It’s another example that eco-friendly design doesn’t need to be boring.
