The award-winning design of Happy Aquarius is an absolute marvel. Combining two colors, the smooth smiling curvature design exudes a sense of youthful energy and fashion. Crafted with 100% recyclable food grade silicone material, the water bottle is able to sustain high and low temperatures ranging from 220°C to -40°C, making it safe and free from plasticizers and BPA. The soft touch surface coating provides a silky feel for a good hold and grip, and its flexibility and elasticity enables the bottle to double as a hand gripper and a light-weight dumbbell. The designer's attention to detail is quite clear and is evidence of their dedication to craft a safe water bottle for children. The double sided color formation and the curvature hollow structure in the middle of the bottle were great challenges, however, the team persevered and was able to come up with an excellent solution. The use of silicone as the main material for the water bottle is truly a revolutionary idea and the special molding techniques applied to achieve the good hold and grip shape and eye-catching colors really shows just how creative the designers were. Overall, Happy Aquarius is a remarkable design that is a testament to the designer's skill and innovation.
