Funky garbage cans in La Villette park


Here are few funky ashtrays/garbage cans I came across in Le Parc de la Villette (where I already took this picture). I just found out that they were made by famous designer Philippe Starck who - to me anyway - is a real genious. He would turn any trivial thing into a piece of art...

  2. Mouais, je suis bien plus dubitatif sur le "génie" de Stark. Mais c'est le vieux débat des goûts et des couleurs, fantastique ou science-fiction, être ou ne pas être, oui ou non, Jacob ou Delafon, j'en passe ou des meilleures...

  3. LOL Melie, love your comment!! Actually now that you mention it...

    No, in fact it's funny though, because La Vilette Park was erected on the precinct of a former slaughter house! But that was in the 60s and I doubt mice stayed there that long!

    but now I've taken something you liked and made it awful :(

  5. >> Justgrace :
    If I'm not wrong, I saw those very particular hats during football competitions (with the Green Bay Packers ???). The first time you see that, it's really, ahum, surprising !!!
