MILKBASKET1
upcycle design
The design of MilkBasket1 uses the same techniques as the way MilkFlower was made, a big lampshade. The basket has a center piece, the actual flower/plant pouch, which is surrounded by a sort of flower shape turning it into a very friendly Snapdragon like shape. The wall version, not shown here, only has the basket surrounded on three sides so one side can be mounted to the wall.
The design was commissioned by Connex Innovations as part of DUDOC Vancouver, Centre for Dutch Design and Urban Development. Dudoc is a platform for sustainable Dutch companies to promote their business cases for sustainable development.
Connex-Innovations was looking for a way to make a living wall, a wall partially or completely covered with vegetation. They asked me if I could design a sort of basket out of plastic milk containers in the way I had done with the Milk-series lampshades.
