A Minimalist Watering Can

Grab, by furniture designer Stine Aas

Two cylinders, one bent, each capped by a half-moon. It doesn't get any simpler than this:

The Grab watering can, as it's called, is powder-coated steel. The body is of a diameter that's easy to grab, obviating the need for a handle. It's not a high-capacity waterer, but one that you can easily use overhead for hanging plants.

Grab was designed by Stine Aas, the Norwegian furniture designer who did those Nest wall hooks.

This one feels like a stretch.
The Nest Wall Hook is pretty unattractive in my opinion (anyone can weld a cereal bowl to a wall hook) and this one seems to have forgotten about "form follows function".
-The website claims "Like the water it contains, Grab's shape is fluid."..... not sure how two metal tubes are "fluid".
This doesn't really seem like an improvement but rather different for the sake of different.

  Zach W. deviates from his typical eco-policing inanity for some freestyle nonsense!
