The inner flask is a double-wall glass bottle, keeping liquids hot up to 6 hours! An advancement is the new pushbutton system, a device integrated into the lid: to pour liquids, simply push the button once and the vacuum jug is ready to use! The push button system and the spout prevent the squirting of liquids. The grip and the lid are made of santoprene. Through the combination of fine materials and the efficiency of use the Bistro vacuum jug becomes a BODUM highlight!

Tue 08 2007

bett_ansicht_gross.jpgA tree trunk, six pieces, no glue, no metal connectors, 3-D swallow-tail tongue and grooves, “sei element” Bed. Those are the characteristics of this product. Pleasing aesthetics, healthy sleep, reproducibility and the state-of-the-art application of traditional cabinetmakers’ joints were the objectives behind this concept. The workpiece: a walnut tree is sawn into sections, planed and oiled. The friction-fitted corner joints take the form of swallow-tail tongue and grooves. The foot and head sections, two side sections and two foot sections can be joined and separated as needed. Repositioning the bed, moving, transporting are child’s play. Mass production is possible thanks to the programming of the CNC milling machine and the small number of parts.

Vino Decanter

Fri 08 2007

vino.jpgThe real value of a good wine reveals if it has been decanted beforehand. The bulbous, generous shape of the decanter allows the liquid to extend for quite a way further, providing the best possible aeration and therefore permitting the aroma to develop in an optimal manner. The decanter’s crooked shape is an invitation to pour something out of it. While new for a decanter, this arises from a thousand-year old tradition. It is adapted from a wine skin bag, that legendary vessel which is already mentioned in the Bible. The polished neck is not only optically appealing, but also finishes off the shape of the decanter in a meaningful manner. Sybille Homann
