Water Filter

Thursday, 15 August 2024

Minus

Minus is a fully circular tap water filter that fits in your pocket. It uses pressure from the tap to push water through an all-natural charcoal filter that removes chemicals, bacteria and odour, providing the user with instant access to clean drinking water. Natural indigo colourant acts as an end-of-life indicator. It washes out with use to let the user know when it is time for a replacement, eliminating guesswork. The used filter can be dropped off at any post box to be sent to the factory, cleaned, recharged and sold again to be reused, making for a complete zero-waste experience.

Design Drinking

What do you think? How many plastic straws are thrown away every day? Millions? Billions? The second guess is right! There are 3-6 billion plastic straws that end up in the garbage every day worldwide. The amount thrown away is roughly equivalent to the weight of 500 orca whales. So good, that finally there will be a ban on plastic drinking straws in the EU in 2021. The big Five! With the Design Drinking Set - consisting of five glass straws - we are making a striking statement. Each straw was engraved gracefully and individually. Five straws - 5 cities - 5 ornaments.
