Safe drinking water is one of the most essential things to ward of many diseases and ailments. And a trip to Zamibia made designer Timothy Whitehead think of a new idea to create a way to make safe drinking water quickly. Although current methods like sterilizing the water or adding chlorine tablets are efficient, they take around 30 minutes and give the water a horrible taste. This led the designer to come up with his own unique quick way of purifying water. His creation is dubbed the Pure Water Bottle and as its name suggests, it is a portable water bottle that promises to purify water in just less than two minutes. The bottle is equipped with a wind-up ultra violet light that sterilizes the water, and also ensures there is no change in taste of the water after the process.

Remember the golden egg Harry Potter fights a dragon to get his hands on in the Goblet of Fire movie? Well, if you aren’t much of a fan of the spectacled little magician, you probably wont known what we’re referring to while talking about this wine packaging. With a magic of its own, the packaging used for Colier Sparkling Wine is sure to grab a lot of attention. More of a carbon fiber egg than a golden one, this one tightly holds your bottle for you. Though targeted to business women, this one sure would find its place better on your bar. The container is something we’ve never seen before, and does remind one of some dinosaur egg you probably spotted in Jurassic Park. No T-Rex popping out of this one though. Expect a bottle of sparkling wine instead, which we’d appreciate more than an ancient overgrown carnivore.
