who needs designer water? - a list by oO
Options for This Page
About this list:
I have a perverse fascination with designer bottled water. To me it's the ultimate perversion from a product point of view (well until designer air is more prevalent) and at the same time a very valid exercise from a design a packaging point of view. The product being the same for everyone, how do you make someone want your water more than all the others? as they say, thirst is nothing, image is everything
Qualifications:
I drink a lot of water, everyday

Description
Once I'm getting over the "organic" tag on the YWATER website (how do you make organic water?!?) I'm absolutely getting some bottles just because of their shapes, and the special connectors that transforms them into a construction toy.
the Y bottle, which was designed by Yves Behar comes in 4 flavors, for brain, muscle, bone, and the immune system. (via notcot)

Description
Why do we prefer bottled water over tap? Tap has an image problem, and The Tap Project in New York is an attempt to solve that.
In some NY restaurant, you could buy tap water in this elegant bottle, with all proceeds going to the UNICEF fund to help children get better access to potable water all around the world.

Description
This water is effectively the famous Glenlivet Scotch Whisky, minus the alcohol and other fermented crap that the distiller adds to it. Sort of the equivalent of a non-fat soy no foam decaf latte, but it tastes a whole lot better. (via oO's very eclectic)

De GRISOGONO Water
First to recommend
Description
As far as I can tell the only way to get hold of a bottle of De Grisogono water, is to get the THiNK FiT kit by Swiss jewelry maker De Grisogono. The kit includes a bottle of water, a silver plated jump rope, as well as silver plated 1KG and 2KG weights. (via notcot.org)

Description
iLove is a magazine with a built-in water bottle, or a bottle of water with a magazine. The tag line on the website says "refreshing, sassy, and cool, iLove targets the young, fashionable woman on the go" and I don't know if they mean the water or the content of the magazine. The mini-magazine is published in 6 different editions of 32 pages each and changes every month. The water on the other hand is nothing to write about, and seems to stay the same every month.

Description
While we wait for an entrepreneur to release the next level of water pretentiousness, which in my opinion should be morning dew collected from the petals of the himalayan dwarf rosebush, we can drink water harvested from a glacier in British Columbia.
According to the website, because research has shown (?!?) that water has a memory, the bottling is done to inspirational music. I don't know if this is pre-recorded music from maria callas, or if there is a chamber orchestra, precariously tethered to the edge of the glacier, with the sole purpose of entertaining the water as it melts.
From a design standpoint, the frosted glass bottle reminds me of the H2O Bling, minus the swaroski.

Description
Pure, clean, smooth and refreshing, just what you'd expect a water from Canada to taste like. The bottle is sexy and the top doubles as a glass from which to drink with, how cool is that.

Healthy alternative to drinking brandy or whiskey in a flask. Drink water in a flask instead. This is a brilliant concept.

Do we really need another bloody water brand? Apparently yes, but at least this company from Melbourne has a sense of humour when it comes to packaging (via Rugenius on Notcot)
