(to J*) I think your very much missing the point…

Critical design, heard of this?

The product has a purpose – It is simply to reflect a relationship between the watering can and the plant pot. In a satirical way.

Being human means we can enjoy satire, reflect ourselves through design and have fun. Without play, design would be dull. I’m sure the world needs not another re-designed, re-purposed watering can that waters plants in a conventional way…

Lighten up.

So, take the can, tilt it to get some water in (most taps are not that practical). Loose half the earth in the pot. Don’t put too much wter in the can. Because the can is 10 times bigger than the pot, you don’t need too much. Then water the pot. Put everything back on the floor, loose the other half of the soil of the little pot, with the water. On your floor.
Nice one. Really usefull design. Clever and all. The sort of thing you (might) buy and then regret and leave to rust in your shed. Any sustainability guys? One watering can for one little useless pot? come on…
Even if the two bit seem to be disconnectable, this is NOT design. Nor art. thank you for producing only ten of these things.

i really like this, it works on many levels, appearance, practicality, fun etc. and it’s good to see designers out there not taking things too seriously. but have a heart for the watering can, plant a trailing plant and let them get together
