Beautiful trash cans in Holland

Agree: the site for garbage cans in urban yards and public toilets with teenagers wall transformer boxes and countless little stalls adorn the city. But as I do not want to dump more useful things, which for some reason was not necessary neither to us, nor our friends... Simple and original solutions to these problems has already been invented!

Dutch designer Roeland Otten (Roeland Otten), as a truly refined man of art, long upset unsightly household stuff on the streets of Amsterdam. The challenge the artist has managed a rather unexpected way: he created an oversized, photo-installation, which shielded each "eyesore". Prints repeat exactly all the details of the terrain – what it would be if people were able to plan the city has received a...









From afar you may not notice the amazing camouflage – after all pictures were taken from the same points from which they are seen by passers-by. The fences still exist nice and clean fragments of the surroundings – houses and paths, trees and lawns and parked cars and bikes. Thus, the creative thinker has managed not to disrupt the architecture and layout of streets. Such "cultural" photo-camo can be seen on the street or Galenstraat on the waterfront of Rotterdam.

Its mission Roeland Otten believes the adornment of his city and making it more artistic forms. And to his creation (though not expensive at cost) not spoiled hyperactive and bored kids, the designer deliberately equipped with a photo-camouflage special anti-graffiti coating. However, some of his works done as if in a peyote – but it's all the same real images, processed in a photo editor and converted to form coarse pixels.





The Dutch have decided to "junk the label" not touched those things that can be turned into "gifts." Not everyone has the time, desire (and garage space) to slowly sell off and give a good, but not needed or just excess things via the Internet. Especially for them was created translucent and bright packages "Goedzak": you just need to fold them useful things and to leave somewhere on the street (but better still by the bins).

This stuff will please the other inhabitants of cities, for three reasons. First, things in packages will stay clean, will not break and will not rust. Second, seeing the cheerful yellow bag, a passerby can be sure that thing is in working condition and not thrown out because of some security reasons. And thirdly, this street fair not only helps to save on purchases, but also to give a second life to unnecessary things.





In clean packages left in another's good hand, it may be last year's designer outfits, home appliances, books, CDs, Souvenirs and other interesting stuff.So even the most modest urban citizens should not hesitate to check their contents: and suddenly there is a collection of rare music, stamps or coins, who will be happy with someone you know?

Over useful invention worked the designers of "Waarmakers" Martin Halties (Maarten Heijltjes) and Simon Acaya (Simon Akkaya, the graduates of Delft University of Technology. Gift-the "Goedzak" became part of their graduation project titled "Design for altruists" (Design for Altruism). His direction is to create products that stimulate a person's desire to act for the good of others, complete strangers. Looking how the youth thinks so wide and green, I want them to applaud!
