A summer day in France, along the river.
From litter washed ashore - a plastic bottle, a plastic bag, some twigs - the characteristic of a sailing boat emerged while tinkering.
Playing children immediately recognized the silhouette and gratefully took it with them. From this intuitive design, the Bottle Boat took its stylized form. An empty (shampoo) bottle as the hull, a colorful sail and a rubber band. Partly reused, but not designed from a sustainable thought. Here it's all about semantics. With relatively small interventions, existing products can take on a completely different meaning.
Dutch Design of stunning simplicity in a range of fresh colors, with the distinctive signature of Floris Hovers.
You can throw away an empty shampoo bottle, but with this set, you can also turn it into a sailing boat. The bottle boat comes as a cheerful little kit for young and old. Keep your empty shampoo bottle, it is not included.
Package contents: 1 sail, 1 wooden mast, 1 wooden mast foot, 1 wooden keel and 1 elastic band. The sail is available in 8 colors: white, gray, yellow, orange, neon orange, purple, aqua green, blue. The sticker on the front of the package indicates the color of the sail that is in the package.
