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

Antipodes Water

6 people recommended this item
Description
I love the bottle design, which reminds me of these vintage remedies. In fact the shape is inspired by old beer and sherry bottles from New-Zealand which is where this water comes from.

Glaceau Smartwater

Description
After seeing everyone with their Smart Water I naturally wanted one too. It really does taste wonderful and refreshing BUT the best part is the little gold fishy you see on the inside while you are drinking. That little joker makes me happy.

Description
Why drink water because it tastes good when you can drink it because it comes in swish limited edition, frosted glass bottle, covered in Swarovski crystals. Created by a Hollywood producer, because he thought that the water bottle you carry says a lot about who you are, and saw an opportunity to cater to the type of people who would want to be seen drinking from a Swaroski encrusted bottle.

Glacier by Philippe Starck
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
You can't tallk about designer water without talking about Phillipe Starck, who designed the water bottle for Glacier, right at the very beginning of the bottled water craze. Look at the elegant shape, and the ridiculously impractical bottlecap. I love it. (via oO's very eclectic)

TyNant Spring Water
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
Available in the pitturesque blue glass bottle, or the amazing flowing form of the plastic bottle create by star designer Ross Lovegrove, TyNant tastes like, well, water. But when you can name drop the designer that created the bottle for you favorite water, that must count for something, no? (thank you google for all that information :-) ) (via oO's very eclectic)

King Island Cloud Juice
First to recommend
5 people recommended this item
Description
Brilliant! a water called Cloud Juice, could only come from Australia. Australia's original inhabitants, known as Australian Aborigines, have the longest continuous cultural history in the world, with origins dating back to the last Ice Age. This however, has nothing to do with Cloud Juice water, which is rainwater collected in King Island, off the coast of Tasmania.
Sadly I didn't know this even existed while I lived in Australia so I can't tell you what cloud juice tastes like. The bottle design is average, but that name... (via oO's very eclectic)

VOSS
First to recommend
10 people recommended this item
Description
Voss Water possibly has the best (and most pretensious looking) bottle design. The sleek norvegian cylinder of glass, the straight lines of the logo and the bottle cap, this is the perfect bottle to drink while staying at a boutique hotel in manhattan. On the plus side, you can easily refill the bottle with regular tap water, after you have finished sampling the crisp taste of the norwegian artesian original.
The only thing that could improve on the design would be to replace the plastic cap with one that would be carved from a single piece of birch. (via oO's very eclectic)

Ed Hardy Structured Water
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
I bought a bottle of Ed Hardy water because of the tattoo image on the logo (see! good design works) and had a good laugh while reading the notes:
This is not ordinary (and presumably oddly shaped) water, but structured water, which is magnetically activated and bombarded with infrared light to produce hexagonally shaped water molecules, which are apparently absorbed up to 4x (four!!!) times faster than normal water.
Personally I loved the tattoo, which is printed on the inside of the label so you see it thru the diffraction of the (structured) water. (via oO's very eclectic)

OGO Water
12 people recommended this item
Description
I saw one for the first time in a pharmacy in Australia and couldn't help myself because the round bottle is so cute. The claim is that it comes with 35% more dissolved oxygen than non-oxygenated water, which means what exactly? 35 times almost nothing equals. a little bit more than almost nothing. also available in sparkling water and a red bottle

Metromint water
19 people recommended this item
Description
I bought a metro mint in berkeley last weekend, and I love the taste, minty, but without any added sugar, this is as if I dropped a altoids in a bottle of water (not quite as spectacular as the mentos + diet coke combination, but tastes a lot better)
From a design point of view the bottle is graphics is clean, but doesn't really transcend anything (via oO's very eclectic)
