Mercado Negro
image

LA-based cross-media visual designer Ramón Coronado has built a swing, lounge chair, table and a lamp out of shopping carts: Mercado Negro meaning Black Market in Spanish is a 12 week project that deals with reclaiming an ordinary, everyday object and transforming it into a whole new object. At the same time hinting at the lack of parks and recreational functions in Los Angeles.

This is really cool. Love how he recycled the shopping carts and turned them into something entirely new and fresh!

lack of parks? aren't there actually too many parks?

Very well-done, and a nice documentation of the process at the link.

I'm not sure i totally agree with that this is laudable as upcycling: was the shopping cart functional to begin with? But the new objects are quite beautiful.

Also, I'd like to see the lamp on.
