Mailbox. Updated.
Originally developed as an entry for the 2005 *Frost furniture prototype exhibit in Edmonton, this hot pink mailbox from designer Adriean Koleric is sure to get your postman's attention. The mailbox is constructed from welded steel and features illuminated frosted plexi-glass letters on the front. The light is connected to a light sensitive transformer so it will not light during the day.
"From the start my main objective was to maintain a simple form that would not compete with the house / structure it sat infront of, plus be able to compliment any adjacent greenery. For something that will sit among shrubs and trees, it should look like it has the same right to be there. It almost feels like it grew out of the ground itself to a point that you almost anticipate it to get bigger each year or even sprout leaves. But the question usually asked is why pink ? Reason being this prototype was finished in that particular color was to bring it some attention right from the get go. With such an ultra simple form it needed a punch that would make someone stop and take notice."
Update 5/5/05: Looks like we're late to this party. Check out Josh Spear's write-up on this from a few days back.
