"Silicone Aquatic"

Silicone Aquatic is a silicone water bottle for athletic swimmers. The soft body allows use of the bottle without fear of the bottle breaking near exposed skin or falling on bear feet. The bottle's flexibility makes cleaning easy. This five week project was completed in 2011.

This solo project required design research, product research, company research, competitor research, materials and process research, Human Factors research, in-field research, hand sketches, digital sketches, model making, hand rendering, and Adobe Illustrator rendering.

All materials original work of Elizabeth Schwartz with exception of photography in the third, fourth, and tenth slides, as well as the photography of the water bottles in the second slide.
