Freitag Compost Bags: from fashion to horticulture.

Swiss bag producers markus and daniel freitag of freitag were invited by the walking chair gallery to create an installation/exhibition as part of vienna design week 09. Titled 'urban gardening', the show aims to direct the general public to be involved in recycling and encourages people to get involved in gardening within their local community.

The duo designed 100 limited edition freitag compost bags for the installation, each were given to guests on the opening night, granted that they would return to the gallery with their compost and place it in the compost bin within 3 months.

The freitag brothers specially prepared a soup for guests on opening night, using their food scraps to start the compost bin.
