........................................

The Lithuanian recycling company had mountains of fridges to be recycled in front of their refridgerator recycling plant. The idea was to give the factory a positive visual connection with the Lithuanian landscape and the passing highway. It was more than logical to use semi-recycled fridges (no cooling fluids, no engines) as a building material, because it is available onsite. We used 700 fridges to build 3dimensional wall with windows and a balcony to the surrounding nature.

The installation is 4m heigh and 100m long. After finishing the constructive work we illuminated a chosen amount of fridges with green light to resemble the logo of the company at night.
