Behind the Design: How Chilly’s Bottles Became a Canvas for Creativity

Great design often begins with a simple idea: to make something better. For us at Chilly’s, that meant creating products that not only work beautifully but look beautiful too. What started as a mission to end single-use plastic has evolved into a design movement that bridges sustainability and self-expression. 
 
Chilly’s bottles have become much more than hydration tools. They are design objects that reflect individuality, creativity, and culture — proof that functional can also be fashionable. 
 
Form with purpose 
 
Design is more than surface. Every curve, texture, and colour in a Chilly’s product has intention behind it. Our Series 2 Bottle was engineered with a soft-touch finish and ergonomic base, making it as tactile as it is functional. The seamless shape and matte coating give it a contemporary edge that feels as much at home in a studio or gym as it does on a fashion shoot. 
 
The Series 2 Flip Bottle and Series 2 Switch Cup were designed for people on the move. Each detail, from the fast-flow lid to the easy-grip handle, was crafted to enhance everyday use without compromising on aesthetic appeal. 
 
This balance of engineering and artistry is what defines our design philosophy: products that perform perfectly and look timeless. 
 
A canvas for collaboration 
 
Collaboration is where our creative spirit truly shines. Each partnership brings a new perspective to the brand while celebrating shared values of creativity, individuality, and sustainability. 
 
The Chilly’s x Liberty collection reimagines our signature bottles through Liberty’s iconic prints, transforming a daily essential into something collectible. Meanwhile, Chilly’s x Chopova Lowena infuses punk-inspired patterning with functional form, proving that utility and artistry can coexist. 
 
Our other partnerships, such as Chilly’s x Raeburn and Chilly’s x Emma Bridgewater, highlight craftsmanship and conscious design. Together, they showcase how a reusable bottle can tell a story that extends far beyond hydration. 
 
Colour, creativity, and culture 
 
Our approach to design isn’t limited to collaborations. Colour plays a central role across every collection. From the bright tones of the Original Bottle to the refined palettes of the Series 2 range, each hue is carefully chosen to evoke mood and personality. 
 
Seasonal drops often take cues from art, music, and fashion, giving the collections a sense of cultural relevance. Whether it’s the minimalist lines of the Series 2 Cups or the vibrant prints of limited editions, there’s a design story behind every shade and shape. 
 
This focus on creativity keeps a constant dialogue with the worlds of art and design, not following trends but helping define them. 
 
Design that lasts 
 
Good design stands the test of time. Chilly’s products are built to endure, using high-grade materials that keep drinks at the perfect temperature while maintaining their finish and structure for years. 
 
Every product, from our Big Mouth Bottles to the compact Series 2 Cups, is a reflection of sustainable craftsmanship. The goal is longevity, pieces made to last through countless commutes, workouts, and adventures. 
 
By creating bottles that people love to use and show off, we aim to redefine what sustainable design can be. It’s thoughtful, creative, and made to make a statement. 
 
The art of everyday 
 
When something as simple as a bottle can inspire creativity, it changes how we see the objects around us. For us, design is not just about what you carry; it’s about the ideas and artistry you carry with it. 
 
Each collection, each collaboration, and each detail comes back to one belief: the everyday can be extraordinary. And when design meets sustainability, beauty becomes part of the habit.
