Keep it long, treasure it long.

Compact yet multifunctional

Cold drinks in the summer and warm beverages in the winter provide us with a moment to relax and unwind. In our fast-paced modern lives, taking the time to enjoy a drink can be a small yet significant way to pause and appreciate the moment. Additionally, summer often brings heat and winter dryness, making us crave hydration, which leads to purchasing bottled drinks from convenience stores while out and about. However, considering the weight of our bags, sometimes just a little hydration is all we need. Furthermore, carrying a reusable bottle daily is a great way to be environmentally conscious. Sipping your favorite tea can be a delightful experience, and a single bottle can enrich your daily life, becoming an indispensable companion over time.

Functional and Stylish Design

The Black+Blum travel cup is a highly functional bottle that keeps cold beverages cold for up to 8 hours and warm beverages hot for up to 5 hours. Its compact design fits perfectly in bicycle bottle holders and car cup holders. Even when filled with cold drinks, it prevents condensation and boasts excellent sealing, so you don't have to worry about sweat forming inside your bag or spills wetting your other belongings. The design also prioritizes safety, ensuring that your drinks and the drinking spout only come into contact with high-quality stainless steel and food-grade silicone.

The lid features a lock, eliminating worries about leaks that could soil important documents or small items in your bag, allowing you to carry it with confidence while out. You can easily slide the button to open the spout with one hand, making it convenient to hydrate while working or on the go. The small spout mimics the flow of liquid from a mug or paper cup, designed to minimize the risk of burns even with hot beverages. Regardless of whether the lid is on or off, it is designed for a comfortable drinking experience, allowing for smooth sipping directly from the bottle. The modern form, stripped of unnecessary elements and focused on functionality, embodies a sense of functional beauty.

Made from plastic-free (BPA-free) and highly durable stainless steel with antibacterial properties, the design develops character over time, even with scratches and dents, fostering a sense of attachment like that of a beloved child. Rather than just creating a sealed container, the designers aimed for a functional beauty that appeals to all ages and genders, hoping to make the act of carrying food enjoyable. Through the combination of durable materials, excellent design, and food transport, a message about reducing food waste and waste in general is conveyed.

The Passion Behind "Food"

Dan Black and Martin Blum, who met while studying industrial design at Northumbria University in the UK, began creating lunch boxes focused on the transport of beverages and meals, aiming to promote a healthy and rich lifestyle in a world increasingly aware of food. They are committed to using durable and sustainable materials, ensuring their designs can be used by anyone, regardless of age or gender, under their slogan "Buy once, buy well," which seeks to eliminate food waste and other waste through the transport of food. They also prioritize BPA-free materials for safety concerning human health.

By creating products that people want to use and take pride in owning, they aim to improve everyday items while passionately pursuing sustainability alongside great design. They strive to fulfill their role in environmental protection and the realization of a rich life through "food."

For those who have opportunities to go out, the Black+Blum insulated travel bottle is highly recommended as a gift for working professionals or students for new beginnings or birthdays.
