Spencer R litter bin |
East India Dock is a newly-refurbished site in the East of London comprising of 6,000m2 of office workspace as well as a new public realm area. The previously underutilised space has been transformed, including the creation of a pedestrian-only external landscaped area.
Artform Urban was commissioned to provide litter bins for the public realm and surrounding areas. The proposed products offered compatible styles that would complement the original design, whilst offering a robust, durable and cost-effective solution.
The client needed the litter bins to be multifunctional, allowing litter to be segregated into both general waste and recycling. But they also required each litter bin to have the same aesthetic look to match the rest of the site. Artform worked with the client to create a custom design, to clearly demonstrate to users which waste stream each bin represented.
The Spencer R litter bin was the optimal solution for the site, from design to budget. Artform worked effectively with the client, ensuring that all of the custom RAL colours and lettering for the bins were as per the exacting requirements before moving forward with production.
