It seems in Zurich, Switzerland, cargo containers are being stacked at heights, not just for storage. Rather they are stacked 26m high, gutted, reinforced and secured, in what can only be described as a "bonsai - skyscraper". This structure was created by Annette Spillman and Harald Echsle from Zurich, for the company Freitag.
Freitag is a Swiss company created by brothers, Markus and Daniel Freitag. They produce recycled transporting material and belting cables as satchel and bags. The company's brand "blends a green sensibility with an ample dose of raw urban grit". Maybe this explains the structure? Who knows.......this could be the future of sustainable retail design?

totally luv to have a house like that.....kinda like playing dolls' house when i was young!
I'm glad that our world is thinking about sustainable design. Way cool!
I'd love to see more stuff on green inspired designs in general. I think its a great step towards more awareness about how we live and implications of our consumer society. I aspire one day to be a better citizen of this world. But myabe that would be contradictory seeing I can't kick the bad habit of buying shoes. And I mean good ones...
We are how we are. We live like there are no issues in the world, especially with design. But at the rate that we are going will there be a future for our future generations? It is good to know that people out there are thinkin about sustainable design. I just hope it's not to late!
I just checked out freitag's site, they remind me of the aussie crumpler label. But i'm glad to see we are recycling.

maybe the aussie bag label crumpler should do their shop made of milk crates? cool blog by the way.

I agree. It's good to see design working for the greater good of the earth! I hope we can continue to do so, for the greater good of the earth.
