Making the Ordinary Extraordinary: AquaStand's Design Story

Phones and water bottles sound like they have nothing in common, right? Yet both are your daily must-haves that never leave your side. In this age where everyone's glued to their phones, we asked ourselves: can we upgrade these two everyday essentials from a simple "accessory relationship" to a true "partnership"? Through thoughtful design thinking, this eye-catching innovation was born in 2024.

AquaStand isn't just a water bottle that perfectly fits your iPhone's MagSafe system; it's a smart companion that truly understands your digital lifestyle rhythm. With just one satisfying "click" of magnetic attachment, your phone locks securely onto the bottle instantly transforming it into your most intuitive phone stand. This moment of connection goes beyond mere convenience; it embodies our design philosophy: when technology and life merge perfectly, everyday objects can actively enhance your tech life.

No fumbling for angles, no worry about slipping our magnetic attraction makes every interaction feel effortless and reliable. From intense workouts and focused work sessions to binge-watching, important video calls, and quiet moments, AquaStand becomes your silent partner, making hydration smarter and life more seamlessly connected.

We noticed that almost everyone at the gym has done the exact same thing: casually propping their phone against a water bottle. With no convenient place to set their phones and hygiene concerns about placing devices directly on gym floors, people started getting creative with clever positioning tricks. It's such a common, everyday behavior, yet one packed with untapped design potential.

From that key observation, we began our careful design process across multiple angles: the right proportions, smart center of gravity, and magnetic force tuning, which all worked together to create the most natural magnetic experience with your device.

We've boosted AquaStand's magnetic strength so that whether your phone has a case or not, any MagSafe-compatible device can easily "snap" into place with that deeply satisfying click, guaranteeing solid stability with no slipping.

We don't just want to add another function to your water bottle. Our vision is to create something you're genuinely excited to carry every single day.

When your water bottle doubles as an elegant and convenient phone stand, you naturally become more inclined to use it consistently — and that behavioral shift is the true catalyst for driving sustainability forward at scale.

MagSafe integration makes the act of reusing feel completely natural and effortless. No extra gadgets taking up, no willpower needed to change habits — just a natural reduction in single-use stuff. This innovation transforms "bringing your own bottle" from merely an eco-conscious choice into an instinctive part of your lifestyle.

Winning the 2024 Red Dot Design Award serves as both profound encouragement and powerful momentum that propels us forward.

This recognition isn't the culmination of our design journey—it's the launchpad for our next fundamental question: How many everyday objects around us truly deserve to be completely reimagined and radically redefined?

Today, we've successfully merged water bottles with phone stands. Tomorrow, countless revolutionary possibilities await discovery. Stay tuned for our upcoming design innovations that will continue reshaping how we interact with the world.
