Floris Hovers Bottle Boat - Building Kit - Eco Design
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.
