From the desk of the product designer:

Behind the design

“The original inspiration for this crate came from the Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights. We tried a lot of ways to replicate the shifting colors. Our favorite method was one based on the liquid light shows of the ‘60s and ‘70s. So groovy!”

- KiwiCo Product Designer
