Big Belly Bins

As part of the wider MacCurtain Street Improvement Project, I designed a new skin for Cork City’s Big Belly Bins. Inspired by the old cast-iron bins once seen across Ireland, the design uses black with silver banding, a modern twist on the traditional black and gold (I used silver as Cork is Irelands second city). Though a small element of a larger project, these bins are gradually replacing the older versions that had garish adverts on them, giving the streetscape a more cohesive and considered look.
