How’s that for a bottle of water! Karim Rashid has just designed the limited edition bottle for Finé that you see above. Although the company is Japanese, the limited edition bottle will be released worldwide this month. Jonathan Savoie, a Tokyo-based photographer, has done a lot of work for the brand, and I’m sure a lot of the imagery found on the site is by him.

I just saw it @ Dean&Deluca, it’s about 400 yen the bottle, even if from far it looks like glass, it’s plastic.
Ah, actually, yeah, I did think it was made of glass.
Now is the time to stop talking about bottled water. There is nothing correct about a design that is non sustainable, not even slightly. To design something simply for consumerism is truly playing in the hands of large anonymous corporate visions rather than object=need=vision=answer.
I have a designer nuclear bomb, do you want to buy it ?
Seems like I’ve seen this somewhere before…I think it was near the condoms.
Are you sure it’s water in there?
dear tipere: how is this less sustainable than any other beverage bottle? How is this less sustainable than nearly ANY products on the market today?
In the fact that as opposed to tea, coffee, juice or any other concoction; what you get from the grittiest, ugliest, most discusting piece of copper tubing of any modern world society is pristine water, for free too boot, as opposed to this fake bottle full of free air…
If you tink there a coca cola sponsored tap water bottle is sustainlable or a fidji bottle that has been shipped 12 hundred miles is sustainable, then all the best to you, just don’t call it modern design object, cause it ain’t, its absolute fakeness consumerism. This coming from the most trendiest of guy.

NOT TRUE in many cities in the US. NOT TRUE among many of the world’s top 20 tourist destinations including: China, Egypt, Hungary, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Turkey, and Ukraine

Pure consumerism? Some of the hottest destinations in the world—Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America—typically have water that can make travelers sick.
