Findus is an urban piece of furniture: an exchange cabinet for public spaces where neighborhoods can give and take clothes and objects. A place that promotes the local circular economy in neighborhoods and communities and underlines the character of a social meeting point with its integrated seating.
The design of the Findus is based on four principles: stability, modularity, mobility and visibility. The cabinet is stable and robust enough for public spaces. Different modules can be used to respond to the needs of different neighborhoods. Findus creates a fixed point of contact for the local barter economy in neighborhoods.
