About Penguin 保温ポット

ペンギンは、極地に暮らすペンギンをかたどった保温ポットです。丸みを帯びたボディと傾いたフォルムが、温かく親しみやすい印象を与えます。ハンドルは重心に対して垂直に配置されているため、持ち上げると自然に前傾し、子どもや高齢者でも容易に扱うことができます。蓋の前部はくちばしのように盛り上がり、注ぎ口へのほこりの侵入を防ぎます。蓋の後部も高くなっており、ねじって開閉しやすい形状です。外殻はポリプロピレン製で、銅メッキを施した二重構造のガラス製内瓶により、80℃の湯を6時間保温します。

Unique Properties: It's a bionic design. Its overall shape is like a polar penguin, chubby and lovely, warm and elegant. In addition to making it look more vivid and interesting, the tilted shape also makes it easier to use, even for elderly or children. The front end of lid is raised like a penguin beak to prevent dust from falling into the spout. The back end of lid is raised to help users to screw the lid easily.The glass copper-plated inner tank can keep water 80°C after 6 hours,hot enough for tea or coffee
Dimensions & Packaging: 190×155×230 （D×W×H）
Tags: thermos，jug，penguin
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.
