(Pics) Shopping Carts As Furniture

By Aziz Ali on March 15, 2010

We recently came across LA-based Ramon Coronado’s Mercado Negro collection, where he created furniture by upcycling old shopping carts.

He explains:

I took it upon myself to take a shopping cart and make a statement with it. I reclaimed LA’s iconic shopping cart and created furniture for kids to enjoy in these urban Los Angeles areas. The project is a criticism of the scarcity of recreational functions for kids growing up in a dense city like Los Angeles.
