Gold-Plated Trashcan by Sylvie Fleury…
Designer Sylvie Fleury seems to make mockery out of the luxury lifestyle with her critical but adulatory designs. Earlier we’ve seen “Yes to All,” a 24-karat gold-plated New York City garbage can from her, and now the Swiss artist has popped up a gold-plated trash bin that presents a nexus between fashion, commodity, fine art and a bit of flamboyance. Made of tin and coated in gold sheets, the 25 pieces of this limited addition garbage bin are available between a price range of $10,000 and $15,000. If you’ve used the Yes to All, you know what goes into a gold-plated trashcan, but in case you haven’t, I advise you to dump those diamond rings and platinum crockery – just don’t take me too literally though.
