Each Bottle is A Water Purifier.

20100402301

321 — pronounced “three to one” — is a reusable water bottle, or more exactly a portable water purifier designed to provide clean water to travelers. The concept behind the simple name is quite impressive: three liters of water is required to manufacture merely one liter of bottled water, but you could save more water using the 321 Water. Besides, the product also helps to reduce the need of plastic bottles.

Designed by Gretha Oost, Paul Charlwood and Andrew Howley, the innovative water purification system is easy to use, all you have to do is to fill the bottle with tap water through a drip system and slot in the filter.

One filter can last 100 uses (about 50 liters) and it could be purchased separately. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Protect The Earth and Choose Eco Coke!

20100329301

“Same classic taste, but greener”, with that in mind, Andrew Kim has come up with a new series of packaging designs for Coca Cola, the ‘Eco Coke’. Simply judging by the outside, the futuristic Coca Cola is refreshing, smart, ergonomic, cut, and still classic. But what really makes me excited is it’s made of 100% sugar cane byproducts and completely eco-friendly to the environment. Another thing to be mentioned is that the bottles can collapse 66% smaller than its original size, allowing an easier transportation for later recycling. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Elegant Packaging Designs

20100326101

Proper packaging would help to enhance the reputation of the products, and in most cases, an ideal packaging design means “simple, unique and impressive”. So here we’d like to introduce two elegant packaging designs from Miranda Laskowska. As most designers do, she also believes that proper colors can give more force to the form of a product. So both the designs feature only two colors-black and white. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Use the cake box as a spoon.

Electra-Pour

2009082829.jpg

It probably because drinking is so frequently concerned that the Electra-Pour bottle top is believed to be a good help in drunkest hours. However, I suppose it to serve better when guiding us to distributing beverage into small-open bottles from a huge one. Also equipped with a LED light, Electra-Pour will illuminate the liquid to ensure a precise pour even in the dark. Maybe it will be more popular if the bottle top could be used to distribute solid matters like spices. Really utilitarian product!
