Penguin Thermo Jug

Penguin Thermo Jug is an innovative bionic-inspired thermal container that revolutionizes the traditional thermos design through its distinctive penguin-shaped aesthetic and enhanced functionality. Designed by Zaiyong Fa and Tang Jiazheng, this Silver A' Design Award-winning creation seamlessly merges form and function, featuring a thoughtfully engineered tilted profile that facilitates easier pouring, particularly beneficial for elderly users and children. The design's sophisticated engineering incorporates a copper-plated double-layer glass inner tank, capable of maintaining water temperature at 80 degrees Celsius for up to six hours, making it ideal for hot beverages such as tea and coffee. The exterior shell, crafted from durable PP material, exhibits a deliberate rounded form that not only provides superior protection for the internal glass component but also embodies the warm, approachable character of its Antarctic inspiration. Distinguished by its ergonomic features, the jug includes an intelligently positioned handle perpendicular to its center of gravity, a raised beak-like spout cover that prevents dust infiltration, and an elevated rear lid design that enhances grip during opening. Measuring 190×155×230 millimeters, this thermal container represents a significant advancement in kitchenware design, where emotional resonance meets practical functionality. The design's success is evidenced by its remarkable market performance, with over 45,000 units sold within six months of its launch, demonstrating its strong consumer appeal and practical utility in everyday life.
