Developing a quick-to-fill sports water bottle

At: Studio VIBE

Studio VIBE, a Deventer based company mainly focused on brand identity and graphic design wishes to expand its business by developing and selling quick-filling water bottles. This bachelor’s thesis is focused on working out the technical aspects of this design. The first step in the process was developing a methodology based on literature. After this, the design process could properly begin. Stakeholders, business models, existing solutions and popular water bottles were analysed, which resulted in a number of requirements. Using these requirements, a functional model, and the TRIZ-method, a number of concepts were developed and one was chosen. After a prototype was made and the design was adapted accordingly, a final design was made for a quick-to-fill sports bottle that the user can fill in seconds.
