Gläce Bottle Concept


The water bottle is an idealized concept design; acting as a showcase for the ideas and principles I follow when approaching product design. Although there was no requirement to design for manufacturability, much of the spirit of the design could still be preserved in a more realized product with some material and mechanical changes.

Much of the design plays with frosting the glass and changing its clarity with the water fill level.

Most important to me is to take advantage of all of a material’s properties for form and function.
