Hasta La Ideas

David Derksen has designed a picnic furniture set inspired by garden tools and the specific interactions they suggest. For example, a wind-up light bulb atop a wooden stake can be used in any outdoor green space as temporary lighting, then hung on the garage pegboard when done. Made from rubber, steel, and ash wood, the rest of the set includes a fold-up bench with a handle, a rubber mat for either the bench or a grassy lawn, and a bucket that doubles as a carrying compartment and a stool. We love the industrious feeling that this collection evokes in the service of fun.
