News from Australia: made of polystyrene
15/05/2014
Adele Schaverein, who lives in Australia, has had the material of a bucket in another colour way analysed and we now know it is polystyrene and that the bucket is injection moulded. She has moved mountains to find the designer with out success. Read her efforts in the Evidence Locker and enjoy these different colourways.
It would be so wonderful to find the designer...
