It might be a bit on the brisk side to be thinking about long bike rides and sunny picnics, but the moment we stumbled upon the Springtime, we simply had to share.

Designed and developed by Dutch design startup Bloon and expected to start selling in May, the Springtime looks just like a regular old picnic basket but is oh-so-much more.

Made up of two sections for storing foodstuffs and utensils for a picnic, the sections easily split apart to sit atop a bike rack. What could be lovelier than a bicycle ride to the park complete with dinner for two?

Of course, you might get to the park or green spot of your choice only to find that the grass has just been mowed, is wet, or prickly and dry. Lucky for you, the Springtime’s got your back. Unfold the basket even more and you get a bistro-inspired picnic table, perfect for two.

We love these initial sketches of the Springtime!

And, of course, you’ve gotta have color options. Go for brown, gray, pink, or one of these two-toned options.

We are definitely dreaming of a bike and picnic-filled spring… time :)
