IDEA N°1 : TURN ON YOUR CAN’S GREEN CREDENTIALS
Start growing your garden now — it all begins with your favourite can.
Let your ideas blossom! Suspend your garden in the making and — who knows — what might happen? You might be creating the next Hanging Gardens of Babylon in your very own living room!
Don’t have green fingers? Don’t panic, you’re DIY skills are more important. You will need:
- can
- drill
- spade
- screwdriver
- potting soil
Grow plants and flowers in your upcycled can, another very Gaultier idea.
IDEA N°2: A GUIDING LIGHT IN THE NIGHT
It’s time they lit up your nights too.
Hang this lamp wherever you please and let the Gaultier light guide you.
To create your own wonder of the world, you’ll need:
- the can
- a drill
- a screwdriver
- a light bulb and an electric cable
Hang it without restraint to illuminate your blurriest… or your wildest nights.
IDEA N°3 : A VASE THAT MAKES A STATEMENT
Bring a breath of fresh air into your home, Gaultier style. A bouquet in a can? Absolutely. Chic, offbeat – in your hands, the can becomes a vase.
To transform it into a floral décor piece, you’ll need:
- the can
- a tin opener
- a measuring tape
- a pair of scissors
Whether fresh, dried, or completely eccentric, your flowers have never been so well dressed.
