Objects of Design #114: Picnic Hamper Set

Now then, it’s June. The last week of. If the weather isn’t playing by this stage then I don’t know what to say. But hell, it’s also Saturday, and I shouldn’t have to cross my fingers for fine weather, but I will anyway. So, picnic. This is the perfect hamper for storing all those goodies.

The patterned box on the right is a rather attractive cool bag for the food bits. There are glasses (well plastics) to the left with napkins and proper china plates and real cutlery on the top.

And it comes with a handy carrying strap. Now if that doesn’t make the idea of going for a picnic a whole lot more appealing and easy then I don’t know what will. All you have to do is pick the spot.
