BEER BOX - the evolution of the beverage crate starts with the materials wood and metal and finds a preliminary end – for economic reasons – with plastics. But economic efficiency is relative – what if there is a life after the existence as a beverage container, if the crate is upcycled to a fire basket after its initial use. BEER BOX, a fire basket made of solid corten steel in its simplest form, however amazingly versatile. The large handles cry out for mobility. The interior of the cardboard box serves as a firelighter at the same time. Thanks to accessories, it turns into a grill or stool.
