The bird box design was a response to the amount of dumped estate agent signs that litter are streets.

As a designer I wanted to find a new life for the signs, and I liked the idea that they could provide a home for somebody at an affordable price, unlike most estate agents!

The signs are cropped to use the interesting bits, and I mix up three different companies in each box to further abstract them, and make them as vibrant as possible.

I have always loved African recycled pieces such as light bulbs that have been converted to oil lamps. They subvert the commonplace and make you look at mundane objects in a different way, which I hope the bird boxes do to.
