Dutch Design in the simplest form you can imagine. This bottle boat was designed by Floris or was actually created 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 captures the imagination of children and adults.
The sailboat is not necessarily designed with sustainable thoughts in mind, but it is an educational tool that teaches children about recycling and sustainability. By giving an everyday product a second life.
This specific design by Floris Hovers reflects his overall approach to design, where functionality, playfulness and aesthetics come together. It invites a dialogue about how design can contribute to a better world, both in terms of the environment and our daily interaction with objects around us.
This sailing boat helps children to encourage creative play.
