According to the children’s song, There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, the solution is to mend it with a straw, dear Henry. This make do and mend principle was taken literally by German designer Cordula Kehrer.
The curious structures are Bow Bins – old and damaged plastic bins, buckets and bowls that are mended with sustainably harvested wicker, willlow, rattan and weed using a traditional weaving technique by local German basket makers.
Kehrer has also collaborated with Areaware whereby bins are made with the Aeta people of the Philippines, commissioned by Preda.
