Global warming, but make it art.

Usually, I never give a drinking water bottle a second glance. Water costs hardly anything, and it’s such a utility/necessity that elevating it to a design icon level is something only luxury brands like Evian or Dasani attempt at doing. That basically means the remaining 90% of brands have the most boring water bottle designs on the planet, made to be used and thrown – but the Sprinkle bottle doesn’t look at packaging that way.

Designed to capture the journey of their water, Sprinkle’s bottles come in 3 design formats – one in glacial form, one in an intermediary stage, and one as glacial water that usually then gets bottled at source. The bottle comes sans label, allowing this beautiful distinction to stand out, while its overall motto remains to be a brand that doesn’t dwell in excess. The lack of a label reinforces Sprinkle’s overall “REDESIGN TO REDUCE” mindset.

The Sprinkle bottle evokes a sense of purity, with its crystal-like design. It’s entirely clear, with the bottle looking almost like an ice sculpture itself. There’s no label, no graphic, not even an interplay of matte and gloss surfaces. It’s all monolithic and shimmery, which really allows the 3-part design to shine through.

The bottle displays the water’s journey from source to sip. It starts with a block of arctic ice, which slowly melts into glacial form, finally becoming the spring water we associate with freshness and purity. The journey of ice to water is also a cautionary tale of sorts, showing climate change through design. The bottle’s design journey shows the loss of ice caps, and sure, while we’re left with a lot of drinking water as a result, there’s still a sense of unstoppable change and of loss that’s difficult to shake.

The bottle was designed by the folks at Prompt Design, who had to work with a unique set of challenges. Apart from needing to create a bottle that was impactful and memorable enough to stand out on a grocery shelf or refrigerator, they also had to work around the label bit, finding unique places to list important information. To that end, the company devised a way to print the barcodes on top of the bottle cap, keeping the entire bottle itself looking incredibly pristine.

As someone who has moved houses a lot, I can attest that the food of choice during breaks is pizza. You don’t need any utensils to eat it and oftentimes, you end up just plopping the box on any surface as you partake of a delicious slice and chat with your friends who are helping you move. It’s not the most sanitary of course since there’s probably a lot of dust and dirt lying around on the floor.

Designer: Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut is offering a quick and simple solution for this problem, especially during this time when a lot of people are apparently moving in the U.S. The Moving Box Table is a simple to assemble miniature cardboard table that you can use to place your box of pizza on as you snack. This limited-edition box is perfect for peak moving time so that you can enjoy your slice while not thinking about being sanitary.

The Moving Box Table has a corrugated structure that folds into a base or mini table that is sturdy enough to hold your pizza box. It has of course the iconic red checkered design of Pizza Hut. Setting it up is pretty easy as you just have to unfold and assemble and you’re good to go. It doesn’t really say if you can re-use it, but most probably you can, unless you get all kinds of sauces and toppings on it while eating.

This comes for free if you order a large menu-priced pizza but is exclusive to the cities of Dallas, Charlotte, and Orlando. This is apparently three of the most popular U.S cities to move to especially during this time.
