A reconfigurable container

A foldable container 100 comprises interconnected wall segments 120 and a base 130 with a first and second portion. The container is configurable between a receptacle and a collapsed, storage configuration. The base comprises a first 133 and second 134 axis, the first axis defines a hinge about which the first and second portions pivot. The base is hingedly coupled to the bottom wall edge at a region comprising at least opposite ends of the second axis. The base may be coupled to the wall at a plurality of discrete locations and the segments may be separately hingedly coupled to the base. The first axis may define a major axis of the base and the second axis a minor axis of the base, which may comprise an elliptical shape. The base and the wall segments may extend in parallel planes when the container is collapsed, and the wall may be perpendicular to the base or the walls may diverge from each other in a direction away from the base. The container may be used for laundry and wet clothes, and may be made from plastics material. The wall may comprise a solid portion and an apertured portion 113 (fig. 2).
