Transit Mailbox
Transit is designed by Stephen Hugo-Seinader and inspired by the Toronto subway system. Conceived to be a simple, clean expression of its function; Transit employs a modest use of materials for ease of manufacture. The body is rendered in powder-coated aluminum, with a high-density polyeurethane base. JGB
Side profile.
Transit in context.
Beautiful color, nice line. I'm unfamiliar with the Toronto transit system- is the angle at the mailbox opening reminiscent of their graphics?
Nice design, ruined by having a copy of Wallpaper stuck in it
It actually doesn't seem to have anything similar to the branding of the ttc but it does look exactly like the aluminum roofing which can be found in the subway stations.
Hi JW:
In the words of the designer:
"Transit was inspired by the colour schemes and strong graphic appeal of stations on the Toronto subway system, the first phase of which was designed and constructed in the 1950's. The colour choices are taken
from particular stations that feature that colour, and each is named accordingly".
I agree, the colors really are fantastic.
i think they're beautiful and love the colors. makes me wish i had a mailbox.
