World Premiere: Self-Heating Bottle

Lisa Mulcahy — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 00:30:00 GMT

I’m an interior design and architecture junkie so I’ve been following Karim Rashid since before he made the leap to modern product guru. One glance at this new bottle and you can probably tell it’s a Rashid. But despite the funky fresh look, it’s an amazing first in self-heating bottles.

The Iiamo feeding bottle heats up in just 4 minutes without the use of batteries or electricity– just an organic heating cartridge that only contains salt and water. And the bottle does not contain BPA, PVC, Lead or Phthalates.

Right now it seems the Iiamo is only available from Danish website Dansk Design for $51.97 (299 kr), but they will ship worldwide.

Kurv Handheld Vacuum Sucks Crumbs from Corners, Looks Anything But Sucky

I can think of at least three different objects that look like Dirt Devil's Kurv ($49.99 from Amazon), and none of them has anything to do with sucking up spent Cheerios -- which, of course, is just the task this Karim Rashid-designed handheld vacuum is built to handle. Bagless (just twist off the dirt cup to empty it), it features a replaceable filter as well as a soft business end to keep surfaces from getting scratched while you're racing about the room chasing breadcrumbs. Plus, it looks cool enough that you can leave it charging out in the open. (Pictured in "Choco-Latte" color.)
