Old shopping carts are normally left behind in supermarkets especially if new sets of clean and fully-functional carts are available and the old ones are generally discarded. Instead of finally seeing them in our landfills, LA-based designer Ramon Coronado give these old shopping carts a new life by transforming them into new pieces like a swing, chair, table, and lamp that eventually called as Mercado Negro or Black Market. With the aim to comment on LA’s lack of park and recreational spaces, items included in the 12-weeklong project Mercado Negro are perfect and sturdy enough for outdoor activities. Through this project, LA will now have some recreational space and will surely minimize the growth of landfills.
