FloPro 'CanCan'
Industrial Design
2022
An innovative new watering can designed for FloPro, a UK based garden equipment company stocked in DIY and garden centres across Europe.
The CanCan is a great case study example of pure Industrial Design, balancing function, aesthetics and manufacturing/shipping efficiencies to create a product that stands out from the rest of the category. One of the driving design considerations was to design a product that could be neatly palletised on a Euro pallet for efficient and cost effective shipping from factory to retailer.
The project was fast paced on a short development timeline and I followed a process of constant iteration and improvement of the design under the feedback of the client. The manufactured product is feature rich with a hose adapter for hands free filling, a flip open rose to facilitate direct pouring of water and a removable swan neck that stacks neatly in the back of the can for ease of storage.
