Stay hydrated with your new best friend – a functionally fun water bottle
Blond skillfully crafts Loop – a playful water bottle with an iconic shape and innovative lid, from which it takes its name, embodying one-of-a-kind features.
Believing in the power of conscious sustainable design, London-based creative studio Blond skillfully crafts the Loop water bottle, a playful bottle with an iconic shape and innovative lid, from which it takes its name, embodying one-of-a-kind features.
With Joseph Joseph approaching Blond to fabricate a hero product in their new hydration range – this conceptual project was driven by observational research carried out pre-pandemic, gathering insights into how people were actually using their water bottles.

“Before designing the Loop water bottle, we identified several pain points and utilized these to drive our ideation process. Firstly – we noticed that people struggled to handle the cap of their water bottle with other items such as a phone, newspaper, bag and so on. Secondly – we saw that many instinctively held their bottle by the cap, between two fingers, letting it dangle by their side” says Founder James Melia.
With a shapely functional build and soothingly alluring color palette – this minimalistic object is made from an insulating double-walled, vacuumed stainless steel.
Letting the user effortlessly slot the lid over the bottle’s neck, it provides one with a convenient fuss-free as well as hygienic place to store the lid whilst drinking. The eclectic lid further doubles up as a convenient carry handle and attachment-point for hanging from bags.
Gently curved, the inside of the Loop water bottle is an identical match to the contours – seamlessly allowing a tight friction-fit that prevents it from sliding. “We designed an internal screw thread on the spout, leaving a clean drinking surface on the outer face” Melia adds. Additionally – the spout brilliantly comprises a wide neck that allows space for inserting ice cubes as well!
