Exclusive's junkyard is another man's mother's lode. San José-based craftsman and engineer Francesco Bracci takes regular rubbish and gives them new life as honest artistry. His undertakings, for example, a 40-foot design produced using plastic jugs and a passage from 3,000 larger cartons that washed shorewards, focus light on what customer overabundance and fast urbanization mean for Costa Rica's current circumstance.  “People have to confront public art and that generates dialogue,” he says. “I use my art to express what’s going on in society and hope it sparks action.”

In Costa Rica, public transport is removed from administration following 20 years. Francesco has, as of late, been involving his background as a designer to reuse deserted transports into a la mode and keenly planned minimalistic living spaces. As per those vehicles, he would have been compacted, sent off to China, or passed in a field to rust. “I try to use rescued materials in every project, whether art or architecture,” he says. “It’s a challenge, but it proves that we can give an object new life with a little creativity.”
