'spot' birdhouse by quentin de coster

'spot' is a playful birdhouse that diverts the traditional wooden nest box by adapting it to the plastics industry.
conceived by belgian designer quentin de coster, the object is composed of a thermoformed polystyrene hull and an aluminium base,
that can be fix within your garden, providing birds with the opportunity to land on the disk or instead, to take shelter in the house itself.
