What is your inspiration? A chewing gum, a bicycle chain or just plain sugar.
London based designer Anna Bullus not only takes inspiration from these everyday things but also uses them as mediums!
She invents and crafts new products from these materials, products which are fun, clever and environment friendly!

If your are interested in new litter bin solutions we invite you to take a look at Smartstreets-Smartbins at http://www.smartstreets.eu and http://www.smartstreets.co.uk.
Smartstreets multiple Patent-Applied solution to micro litter has been proven in extensive independent trials by local authorites across Europe who have now adopted the design.
The design is robust, complements the street scene and uniquely, wraps completely around existing street furniture profiles such as lamp-posts and sign-posts. They can also attach to walls and railings to give a consistent facility wherever it’s needed – indoors (for example in airports) or outdoors.
Smartstreets-Smartbins won a Red Dot Product Design 2008 award and are being used extensively by local authorities, Universities, schools, architectural developments and Conservation areas as an aesthetically pleasing alternative to large litter bins. Smartstreets-Smartbins have been shown to drastically reduce chewing gum and cigarette litter wherever they are installed.
For other unique approaches to gum and cigarette litter – please contact us for the latest Smarstreets product information on +0208 742 3223
Smarstreets-Smartbins litter bin solutions are made predominantly from recycled materials and work beautifully – 24 hours a day – keeping gum and cigarette litter off the streets and in the bin where it belongs.
