I saw a picture of this water bottle in a magazine recently and I thought it was unbelievable. Ross Lovegrove, the designer of the Dyson Lovegrove Vacuum has a design firm in London and creates some really stunning designs. Its always great to see new ideas in design of everday products.
He created this bottle with the intention of grabbing a consumers attention immediately and also to create something so beautiful that a person would want to keep and reuse. As a bonus It is ergonomically designed to fit in your hand comfortably.
Here is a quote from Ross from an interview:
“For example, when I did my water bottle for Ty Nant, a very organic piece that has been incredibly successful (it sold 20 million bottles in one year - I wish I had a royalty on that one). I spent three months looking at crushable bottles, collapsible bottles, materials, all that sort of stuff. I looked at the ecological and the engineering aspects and couldn’t solve the problem, because all the results I came up with felt like pieces of engineering. They didn’t feel like they celebrated the beauty of water. My conclusion, at that time, after the three months, was to give the money back to the client. I told him that I realised clouds transport water better than bottles ever could or should. I outdid myself on my intellectual position. The client, however, talked me through things and gave me more time. After a time I came up with what you see, and I am very proud of it.”

A while back I needed some labels for my bottles, I looked on the web and found a British labels company who printed my designed bottle labels for me at a really low cost.
