Five Black Bins from Cow Africa on Vimeo. Woodstock, Cape Town, South Africa Five Black Bins brings together five Cape Town design studios to redesign five garbage bins in Woodstock, Cape Town. The urban design project was conceptualised and curated by Cow. Five random addresses in Woodstock were selected. Designers were briefed to use the bin as a canvas but to take into consideration the context of its surroundings as well. Am I Collective, Cow, Kronk, The President and Room 13 were the five agencies that got involved. Once the designs were completed, bespoke vinyls were printed. The selected bins were abducted, the vinyls applied and the transformed bins were returned to their homes. The current black garbage bin (or "wheelie bin") dates back to the late 70s and was introduced to South Africa in the late 80s. They typically hold 120, 240 or 360 litres, with 240 litres being the most common. Designs: Am I collective Cow Kronk The President Room 13 Music: Sonos Studios The Considerate Builders Scheme
