This Buzz<\/a> garbage can is by Spanish architect Pepe Zazurca. Originally designed for a sailing club, it borrows the form of a merchant ship’s ventilation cowl.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Buzz reinterprets the urban litter bin with a distinctive identity and a subtle reference to the maritime world. Its wide cast-iron mouth, inspired by the ventilation cowls of merchant ships, defines its character while improving usability, with a coloured interior that [corresponds with Spanish colour-coded recycling initiatives].<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The contrast between the cylindrical steel body and the cast-iron funnel top gives robustness and presence in public space, while the inner bucket and access door simplify maintenance. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Designed for demanding environments, Buzz shows how even everyday elements can bring design, order and clarity to the city.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Incredibly, Zazurca designed it in 1990, and it’s still in production today by Spanish street furniture company Escofet.<\/a> <\/p>\n
