Passard’s Poubelles

It seems like Alain Passard will slap his name on just about anything these days.  The veg-loving chef of the three-star restaurant L’Arpège recently endorsed a “green” vehicle from BMW. Following the next logical step, he’s now added his name to a series of compost bins trash cans.

Passard is no stranger to the art world, having illustrated his own cookbook and exhibited his pieces at the Musée Nissim de Camondo. It’s a brave artist who is willing to juxtapose his art next to a trash can. Draw your own conclusions ladies and gents.
