Dutch Design in its simplest form

Dutch Design in the simplest form you can imagine. This bottle boat was designed by Floris or actually originated on a beautiful summer day along a river in France.

Floris Hovers is known for his unique approach to design, this time through a bit of reuse and the art of using objects in a different way and seeing them as building blocks for creating new shapes and objects. His sailboat is a perfect example of this. This toy not only shows how creative reuse of materials can lead to beautiful and functional design, but it also appeals to the imagination of children and adults.

An educational tool

The sailboat is not necessarily designed from a sustainable perspective, but it is an educational tool that teaches children about recycling and sustainability. By giving an everyday product a second life.

The approach to design

This particular design by Floris Hovers reflects his overall approach to design, where functionality, playfulness and aesthetics come together. It invites a dialogue on how design can contribute to a better world, both in terms of the environment and our daily interaction with objects around us.
