New Trash




Why not turn disposed of furniture in the streets to actual street furniture where people can rest and take a break.

I'm intriqued by the idea of using something discarded right where its been deposited, although I'm not convinced furniture is the right item to choose.

On the other hand street furniture is an intriguing opportunity. I was working on bike racks for the city earlier this year. A big contract went to Cemusa for street furniture in NYC. There's a lot of info on their site. It would be great for you to talk with them about collaborating on a piece for the city from reclaimed material.

1. Research street furniture.
2. Define a user and a location
3. Think about user testing / video recording whatever you decide to do.

Amelia did a thesis project last year that dealt with upcycling discarded furniture.
