Transforming Picnic Carriers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Picnic Table Wine Carrier by Mike Blaschka is Multifunctional

— January 7, 2019 — Art & Design
The Picnic Table Wine Carrier is a rustically charming solution for consumers looking to enjoy more time outdoors with their favorite fare without having to lug around multiple items or solutions.

Designed and crafted by Mike Blaschka in Oregon, the carrier acts as a way to easily stow wine, cheese, bread and/or other fare as you commute to a favored location. Upon arrival, the unit will transform into a table that is perfect for serving up the stored goods to prevent you from having to place anything on the bare ground as you take in the surroundings.

The Picnic Table Wine Carrier is crafted from premium cherry wood and can even be personalized with your choice of family name, date or initial to make it a perfect gift.
