Urban and Public Furniture Design
I look at PET water bottles emptied and then thrown away. Just one chance in a lifetime to prove their value and their capacity not only to contain but to exist. The enormous quantity of plastic objects that crowd the sea and rivers is not only a disfigurement to the planet, but it is the denial to a “good” material such as plastic to prove its value in time, so why not grant also objects to live more seasons of life? I then thought of giving new life to 70 PET bottles, allowing them to extend their possibility to serve, to bring water; an inclusive project, a service that consists of a tray, bottle and six glasses that in the design represent a corolla around the central container. The project purpose is transforming plastic bottles from disposable to reusable objects, acting on the recycling of the same material and the creation of new forms, while maintaining the intended use of serving water and beverages.
