The wavy water bottle was designed to solve a simple, everyday problem: carrying a water bottle in bags that weren’t designed for bottles. Traditional round bottles often create bulk, roll, or awkwardly fit in slim compartments. This project explores how form can follow function while still feeling elegant, tactile, and intentional.

the problem
In daily urban life - whether commuting, walking, or attending college - people often carry tote bags, clutches, slim backpacks, or laptop sleeves. Standard cylindrical bottles either don’t fit or disrupt the bag’s balance. The challenge was clear:
How can we reimagine the water bottle as something that adapts to lifestyle, not the other way around?
designed to hold and be held
Final Direction
The design takes on a flat, elongated shape with a subtle wavy form, mimicking the natural way fingers grip an object. The wave isn’t aesthetic alone; it’s functional for grip and creates internal structure that helps reduce sloshing when in motion.
Sketches, digital mockups, and 3D explorations were used to test ergonomics and volume retention. The final form balanced carrying ease with adequate capacity, targeting a 500-750 ml range — enough for short commutes or gym sessions.
