Elevated Picnic Baskets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Clever Contraption Reimagines the Traditional Picnic Experience

— September 29, 2015 — Art & Design
The 'URfresco Basket' is a clever contraption that revolutionizes the traditional picnic experience by allowing users to eat while sitting at a table. While picnics are a lovely outdoor dining experience, they present a number of practical problems. Sitting can be uncomfortable and the ground does not often provide a stable surface for serving food.

The URfresco Basket solves all of the problems associated with traditional outdoor dining. The basket itself is elevated off of the ground, which prevents users from needing to eat in their lap. The basket converts into a handy table, which provides a flat surface for serving food and drinks. When users are finished their meal, they can easily fold the table up into a portable basket. Not only does the URfresco Basket provide a dining table, but it also comes with all the accessories needed to serve the perfect meal.
