Tulip
A picnic bag that opens into the experience itself.
Traditional picnic gear tends to be bulky, difficult to repair, and rarely designed with sustainability in mind.
Tulip is a convertible picnic bag that fully unzips into a flat surface, offering a clean place to set food and drinks on top of a picnic blanket. Made from reclaimed quilt scraps, the bag features modular zippers for easy transformation and repair. It securely holds a custom Tupperware set designed by Morgan Nguyen, keeping it from clinking around while allowing space to pack more or less depending on the occasion. Internal pockets provide space for smaller or valuable items, keeping them safe during transport. Designed for low-waste manufacturing and dual-purpose use, Tulip creates a compact, adaptable system for sustainable outdoor dining.
