Paul Smith Rabbit Lights Up for Scraps

@dabitch and @leighhouse graced our morningtime desks with this rabbit rubbish bin. The bins are designer Paul Smith’s contribution to Super Contemporary, an exhibit that launched at London’s Design Museum this week.

The “New London Rubbish Bins” will solicit garbage over the next four months at Covent Garden and Holland Park. Ears light up when you toss a little something-something into their sacks.

Good way to bring design character to a city and reward constructive community behaviour. Here’s hoping no malevolent clothes irons appear over the horizon.
