Gardeners are doing just a little bit more work than they really need to be while they go about hydrating their plants. The Tilt It Watering Can is a tweaked version of the archetypal apparatus that noticeably enhances the efficiency and ergonomics of using it.
Kim SooHwan, Choi Hyunchul and Professor Doh Han Young won a 2013 Red Dot Design Award for this concept. It essentially slices a wedge out of the bottom of the cylinder's volume, making it sit sideways when it is placed on a flat surface.
Take a look at the provided diagrams and you can see how the same slanted position of the Tilt It Watering Can affords a more effective process of pouring out the remaining liquid than the standard right-angled canister does.
