The IKEA PS VÅLLÖ (Ikea watering can) is a beautiful plastic object. It not only functions very well as a watering can but looks great as well. The elegant, natural form means that it is not hidden away but often on display in people’s homes. The good design often leads it to be used in other ways; I have seen people use it as juice jugs, a vase to hold flowers and as a cutlery stand.
Designer Monika Mulder said "The shape was extra important when I designed IKEA PS VÅLLÖ water can. I wanted to give it an organic, fluid shape so it would harmonise with plants and running water.”
That form is also good for the moulding process
