Touché bottled water. Tap is on the rise again. As plastic water bottles pile up in our land fills, with their vague benefits, escalating prices, and notable carbon footprints, this 90s trend is starting to feel a little dated. Welcome Tap Water. This new reusable bottle is intended to sit lovingly on your table, filled with that deliciousness that pours directly – and locally, no matter where you are – out of your kitchen sink. The bottle is stylish, clean, and modern, branded with a cheeky message that reminds its sustainability-minded users why bottled water is so passé.

The beautiful, minimalist and slightly irreverent design aesthetic that Barcelona’s Chic & Basic Born Hotel sets up with its stunning interior layout is carried through perfectly into its product packaging, which features cheeky, bold messaging in large, unadorned fonts.

The simple yet bold packaging of Waitrose Herbs makes an impact. If it’s not the tabloid style text that gets you, or the herbs inside the tiny packets, then the cooking tips and clever tidbits branded across each sachet are sure to win you over. Design award committees across Europe have certainly been wooed.

The visionary behind the concept, UK-based consultancy Lewis Moberly, has scooped up an impressive count of honors for the packaging. So if it’s intriguing facts about herbs you crave — and really, who doesn’t? — or just a cool design, then check out Waitrose Herb’s regular collection or their seasonal, rotating specials. All are as creative and educational as they are delicious.
