TAG RESULTS FOR: garbage

Philly’s Mural Arts Program partnered up with The Design Center of Philadelphia University to transform 10 city garbage trucks into pieces of movable art. Sadly, the murals do nothing to disguise the trucks awful fucking smell. Just think about this… millions of week old cheese steaks rotting in the sun. But hey, it’s something pretty to look at as you vomit into the gutter. Hit the jump for ghetto children proclaiming their love for all things flowery and purple.

Here at Gearfuse, we’ve seen loads of stuff that has no practical use in real world applications. Take that toaster scanner thing for example, a neat idea but totally worthless to anyone who isn’t scamming people by selling Mother Teresa-faced toast on eBay.  We recently took a look at JooYoun Paek’s website. She’s an artist and interactive designer that takes practical things, doubles them, then combines them creating a whole new worthless product no one will ever use. Don’t believe... Continue reading

Your trash bag easily stays in the center and the way it ends up looking really depends on you. Using a shitty bag from the deli? Your Flexibin is going to reflect that. Great concept. I’d like to see it come to fruition and go to production. Keep the price point under $15 and... Continue reading

For those not familiar with a skip or what it is, simply put: it’s a dumpster. With the massive amount of idle skips laying around the city and all the crap we throw into landfills, we might as well get something out of it. So, Oliver set up a website that allows visitors to search for locations of skips throughout... Continue reading

We’re running out of places to ditch our old garbage. Recycling bins are out of the question because, as we all know, all trash whether it be recyclable or otherwise all goes to the same place: New Jersey. California College of Arts student Nick Demarco has created a vinyl chair out of plastic bottles and other miscellaneous garbage he found lying around. It is said to be surprisingly more comfortable than your average office chair. The planned production models are... Continue reading

Hey, hockey fans. Want a cool way to clean without feeling like a little bitch? Check out this hockey-themed cleaning gear made especially for people like you. The storage bin, vacuum, broom hockey cleaning gear is a design concept for the maid in all of us. I would much prefer sweeping my garbage with a hockey stick look-alike than with a traditional broom. We would so buy this. Someone make it, please. — Andrew Dobrow Link
