Where new design goes to blossom and lost design goes to live again.

Have you had a nice day today? Well, maybe it’s because you’re totally suffocating The Environment! Yes, every day, 1 million animals die from eating plastic bags. Isn’t that crazy? Well designer / artist Aron Kullander-Östling is about to get all up into the print shop and do something wild about it. Yes, that’s right, he’s gonna screenprint his way outta this one. And he does! In a limited edition of 50, he’s changed the world, one bag at a time. Taking the graphics from this 100% classic plastic bag you could find anywhere in the world basically, he transfered and inked his way onto 50 hand-sewn canvass bags.

Sewed em himself even!

That’s what I’m talkin about. For 200 Swedish krona (SEK) you could even get one yourself. Each bag contains a pamphlet about the message “Do something drastic, cut the plastic.”

Contact the dude at aron@selectedworks.se if you want to stock up!

Also collaborating on this project was Rikard Heberling, K.O.’s partner in design.
