Yeah it looks funky, but this concept could be a serious time saver. We’ve all been there…3AM and the rug rat wants some formula or momma’s nectar. Only problem is, momma’s out of town and you don’t have warm water ready to mix up some powdered goodness. By the time you get the bottle ready and heat it up, then cool it down because you WILL over heat it…junior has a face full of tears and boogies and has sustained irreparable damage to his ego that will undoubtedly push him into a long term emo-esque stage as a teen. Forget throwing the football in the yard, you’ll be shopping for skinny jeans in the girl’s section…but I digress. The iiamo GO Baby Bottle concept from Karim Rashid not only looks like your feeding your kid with a Dyson or an IKEA lamp but it will warm the contents to room temperature WITHOUT ELECTRICITY or FIRE! Something about salt and chemistry or a voodoo heat spell…the point is, no more fussing with a bottle warmer or microwave or kerosene and a lighter.

iiamo has just won a GOOD DESIGN 2009 Award – one of the most if not the most prestigious design award in the world.
To give you an idea GOOD Design was founded in Chicago in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. and bestows international recognition upon the world’s most prominent designers and manufacturers for advancing new, visionary, and innovative product concepts, invention and originality, and for stretching the envelope beyond what is considered ordinary product and consumer design.
iiamo won together with among others Apple and NASA (!) and will be exhibited at The Chicago Athenaeum in the GOOD DESIGN Show for 2010 in Chicago in June, 2010.
Also, iiamo just received a Best of Year 2009 Merit Award from Interior Design Magazine.
this bottle is seriously amazing! it’s almost too nice to drink from…but isn’t that the way the industry is going? it’s not just about function anymore, the form has to be top notch in order to survive in the era of flash and bling.
whatever happened to cloth diapers?
