If there was a contest for the world’s most uninteresting object (maybe there is, but nobody ever noticed?), I bet electricity distribution cabinets would feature high on the list.
Grey, square, common and uninspiring, the cabinets are the definition of dull. Everybody walks by several of them daily, but they typically go totally unnoticed.
When was the last time you took a good look at one? Well, I just did. The reason was this little cow:
The design award of the week goes to Helsingin energia for their Street galleries.
The project has been around for several years, but spotting one of these art displays on the street is still a pleasant surprise every time. The cabinets are still grey and dull, but at least there is now a reason to take a look. A little design thought results once again in a more pleasant neighborhood.
