Living in a condo doesn't leave you with many options for storing compostable food waste. In comes Fuccillo Design! They've made a cool container that's perfect for anyone living in a condo who wants to compost their waste.
What is your name?
Our names are Salvatore and Jennifer, and we own Fuccillo Design which is a design company based in Vancouver, BC.
What are some things about you?
We believe in the power of design to create positive change in the world. We are passionate about creating designs, whether they be products, interiors, or systems, that really help people. We’re not just about creating cool-looking stuff, though we try to make our helpful designs as cool-looking as possible. We want our designs to be both.
Describe the product you are most proud of.
Our first product, Bin, is a kitchen collection container for organic scraps bound for composting. You keep it in your freezer so that scraps won’t decompose, which eliminates odor and fruit flies (the two biggest complaints people have about composting). It’s made of silicone, which remains flexible even when frozen, which makes emptying easy (a quick flex of the bottom and the scraps pop right out).
What made you want to start your business?
We didn’t want to get hired at a design firm and end up designing a whole lot of “stuff”. We both wanted to be able to choose where we focus our energy, to make sure that we’re focusing it on something that will help people and the planet (hence our motto “for people for earth”).
Where can someone in Vancouver find your products?
Bin will be for sale in 3 stores in Vancouver beginning at the end of September: Cookworks, Walrus Design, and Chocolate Mousse. You can find a full list of on dealers on our website, www.fuccillodesign.com.
