About Penguin Xerra térmica

Penguin é unha xerra térmica con forma de pingüín polar. O corpo redondeado e a forma inclinada danlle á xerra un aspecto cálido e amigable. A asa está colocada perpendicular ao centro de gravidade, de xeito que a xerra se inclina cara a diante ao suxeitala e pode ser usada facilmente por nenos e persoas maiores. A parte dianteira da tapa está elevada como un peteiro para manter o po lonxe da boca de verquido. A parte traseira elevada da tapa fai que sexa doada de enroscar. A carcasa está feita de polipropileno, e o depósito de vidro de dobre capa con recubrimento de cobre mantén a auga a 80 graos centígrados durante seis horas.

Production Technology: The shell is made of PP and with a round shape, it can protect the inner glass tank well. The water tank is made of copper-plated double layer glass and its mouth is very small, so it has very good insulation performance.
Design Challenge: The most difficult part is to find a way to make people feel warm from a ordinary materail.
Research: According to our research,warmth is not only a feeling of touching, but also a feeling in mind,that means a product can look warm sometimes. So when we designed this jug,we paid more attention to people's feeling about warmth. Holding this jug is like touching a penguin in Antarctica.
Inspiration: In the winter,we need to hold the cold handle to get hot water from thermos.We would like to provide people a thermo jug,which can not only keep inside warm,but also look warm from outside. A penguin comes out to our mind,it lives in the extremely cold South pole,but its chubby and lovely body is still warm.We hope this jug can bring warmth to you in the deep mind.
Project Duration: It started in November 2018 in Hangzhou China and finished in July 2019.It has been sold more than 45000 pieces online during the past half year.
Operation Flow: Its handle is set perpendicular to the center of gravity, and when people hold it, it naturally tilts forward and can be easily used by both the elderly and children. The button on the top can control flow of water.
