Ever wanted to take a little piece of the beach home with you after a holiday? Well, now you can, thanks to the creative minds and crafty hands at Beachbox Garbage, who make striking and colourful works of art by stuffing beach garbage into trophy cases. Each case – which measures 120mm by 120mm by 120mm – showcases an eclectic collection of rubbish, from food wrappers and bottle caps to fishing rope and discarded toys. The results are not only bright and fun, but environmentally significant: every Beachbox purchased helps removed junk from our coastline, and proceeds go towards a global network of organisations dedicated to preserving the planet. Check out the full range here and start clearing a space on your mantlepiece! (And don’t forget to look up Beachbox Garbage on Facebook).
