Picnic Inventions, 2018

upcycling project

Series of mobile inventions made for preparing food and bringing people together. ‘Picnic inventions’ address the processing and consumption of food that, in addition to satisfying the basic human need, has always been connecting and uniting people. Therefore, the invention for baking chapati and the invention for preparing the dough are complemented by the invention for a serving food and enjoying with friends. The inventions are entirely made of recycled materials (waste barrels, bicycle parts and wooden pallets). Objects were found in the waste management company of Ljubljana. Prototypes of ‘Picnic inventions’ are primarily intended for use on the temporary use space called ‘Teren’ in Ljubljana. Inventions are designed so that you can easily take them to different locations around the city, where they encourage or complement public events.
