Aquaterra
A vessel that carries the past into the present, designed for a world seeking slower, more meaningful connections with objects and nature.
Aquaterra is a reusable water bottle concept inspired by the botellón de barro—a traditional clay vessel known for naturally cooling water. This project explores how cultural heritage can inform modern product design through form and material expression.
Inspiration
Inspiration for Aquaterra lies in the subtle beauty of the botellón de barro—not just as a vessel, but as an object rich with visual and tactile language. The gentle curves, earth-toned colors, and textural imperfections of traditional clay pots guided the development of the bottle’s form and CMF.
