Bewater | Magical reusables

Bewater approached Simple Design Works with the idea of creating a reusable water bottle with a solid build and refined features that contains gemstones. Gemstones are said to change the quality and structure of water while giving it revitalising or strengthening properties. The combination of different gemstones is also said to have different effects and benefits to the water. Designing a bottle that reflects this key idea was vital to the products identity.

Naturally designing a gorgeous looking drinking vessel which was food friendly was paramount too. We certainly needed to work our magic on this idea!

Moving from ideation to manufacturing

We started by experimenting with a wide variety of bottle designs and shapes, and investigating different methods of incorporating the stones. This ideation process led us in designing a reusable bottle with a form that mimics the subtle movements of flowing water. The gemstone housing had to be designed in a way so the stones wouldn’t come in direct contact with the water being consumed. We took extra care to achieve this whilst also minimising part numbers. This reduced the overall manufacturing cost for our client. The screw base was designed to work universally with each item in their product range. This also helped minimise the overall manufacturing cost.

It’s a kind of magic

The final product was so much more than a reusable BPA free water bottle with a crystal chamber. It might look like a simple product. However an immense amount of design and engineering went into creating a product that truly captures the identity of the brand. The way the body catches and refracts the light as you turn it, gives the bottle the appearance of water moving in your hand. Filling the bottle with water also magnifies the contents. This emphasises the gemstones and the inner container that houses them. At Bewater it’s all about the health benefits of staying hydrated – be inspired, be empowered and be revitalised!

Right from the early stages of the pitch process, Simple Design Works stood out. The company has produced striking designs for our product and they have brought an excellent work ethic to the relationship.

It has been a pleasure working with Simple Design Works and we have no hesitation using them again and recommending them to others.”
