DESIGN NAME: Bubble Bucket
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bucket
INSPIRATION: The overflowing bubbles that comes out of a fizzy glass of champagne.
The bucket itself has the bubbles coming out from the top.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Starting from a handmade clay and wood model, the artisans carefully build the shape. Many revisions and touches are needed to reach the final aesthetical form.
The resin is then delicately poured into the model to then be sanded and polished to give a transparency effect. After the final step, a natural oil bath, the bubble bucket is ready and proudly displayed at SINCE gallery in Geneva.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: An ice bucket to keep your drinks chilled.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Over 1 month manufacturing per bucket in Geneva, CH.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Clay structure then silicon mould then resin poured.
when the resin is casted we need to polish every ball by hand to have a high quality finishing.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 30 x 55 x 70 cm
TAGS: ice bucket, champagne bucket, vase, wine bucket, ice tub, wine cooler, cooler, party bucket, drink bucket
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research was done through carefully looking at items missing in the market. Once we decided that we wanted to create an ice bucket, the design process would start where we would come out with different ideas and start over till we found a final result we were happy with.
CHALLENGE: The most challenging part, as it always is in any of our project, is designing something that doesn't already exist and is aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
