designer's comment:
H2O is a no form, mobil, flexible, uncatched material.
... so, how can we catch water?
By giving skin!
The idea is to transfer and adapt the water caracteristics, which will not
define a container, but a "dressed water".
The object has a conceve pre form, flexible with low expansion, so it fisical
form is molded by users, to became a "touchable water".
This "free" form has a hole which allows an interaction with the user and
the enviornment. It can be used for holding or it can be hang, for instance, if
there isn?t enough space on the table.

Maximum dimensions - Ø150 x h130 (mm)
Capacity - 1l
Material - PVC - flexible, transparent (cristal clear), strenght, long lived
Production - injection molding

The purpouse is to catch the water skin, or the water itself.
