About Bacsac : BACSAC® was born with the encounter between designer Godefroy de Virieu and landscapers Virgile Desurmont and Louis de Fleurieu. Together, they looked for an alternative solution to get round the constraints of the creation of a roof garden in town: difficulties of transportation, excessive weight, but also lack of choice of containers, most of which are often very expensive. The idea of planting in bags comes from this desire to change habits and valorize what it should be, the plant.

Decovry : "We are attracted by the flexibility, mobility, weightless of BACSAC®. The flexible material easily allows to mutiply the modules and the creation of real seasonal collection."

The themes they deal with are too often similar, research and innovation are frequently neglected. Hence the intuition of Ak47: to develop designs that shun the obvious, venturing into questions that are still unexplored. The aim is to qualify simple objects; to enhance them and characterise them with the quest for a particular process, the innovative use of materials, the care for details. Wood management is the first theme of the project that Ak47 tackled.  

Decovry : "The AK47 collection seeks to discover the equilibrium between functionality and style to release a language that is able to bring together innovation, proportion, originality and usefulness."

It starts off with Rafael Rodríguez Castillo, an employee in a metallurgist's – and old-style grafter – who in 1975 decided to start his own business.  Along with the second generation of the family, the dream of RS Barcelona acquires a new dimension: manufacturing for others might put food on the table, but isn't very satisfying. The creative bug stimulation in the company's first 'own-brand' product: the RS#2, a metal football table. The third stage began at the Milan fair. There, they got to know Stone Designs and decided to take a leap forward together: RS would produce a good share of their designs. Since then, they have enjoyed seeing things from another perspective as never before. And so RS shakes hands with young designers and others of renown to seek ideas and innovative concepts for furniture and objects.

In many parts of the world only a minor percentage of them are recycled into new products or reused in other ways. The Dacarr collection is handmade and every product has its own caractere. Colors, dimensions and tread patterns may differ from product to product. Besides the fact that recycling is positive and environmentally wise, it is also funny to think of that the products have had a previous life on the roads - perhaps first in Europe and later in the Middle East -before they come to Denmark as trendy pots and baskets. Pots and baskets are not 100% waterproof, so put a bag around the plant or a small plate.
