Description
SQUIP is a minimalist object built around a simple and clear idea: a bottle that transforms into a cup with a single press, using only one hand. Its strength lies in its semantics – the soft body, delicate lines, and gentle colors create a design language that speaks for itself, inviting you to touch, to play, to press. At first glance, it is immediately clear what is about to happen: a press that fills the cup. The combination of the flexible material with the elegant form generates a different drinking experience – intuitive, sensory, and unique. SQUIP turns a simple everyday action into a small moment of playfulness and comfort, a product that explains itself and makes you want to use it again and again.

Innovation
The innovation of SQUIP lies in its seamless integration of a bottle and a cup into a single, intuitive product designed for one-handed use. Unlike traditional bottles that require tilting or opening a cap, SQUIP transforms the act of drinking into an immediate and playful interaction: a simple press of the soft lower body fills the cup above. This direct connection between form and function creates a product that explains itself through its design language, eliminating the need for instructions. By combining flexibility, tactility, and compactness, SQUIP not only saves space and replaces two objects with one, but also elevates an everyday action into a unique sensory experience. It is both practical and emotional — a functional tool and a designed moment of joy.

Product Detail
SQUIP combines a soft silicone lower body and a rigid plastic upper cup. The silicone base, in gentle peach tones, emphasizes touch and flexibility, naturally inviting the user to press. Its texture and form clearly communicate the function without words. Designed for one-handed use, the structure allows the cup to be filled with a simple squeeze of the lower body. The upper part, made of durable plastic, provides stability and balance, while a one-way valve seamlessly connects the two elements. Together, the contrast in materials and textures creates a product that is intuitive, playful, and reliable.

Specification
The bottle measures 18 cm in height, including the lid, with a lower cone-shaped body of 117 mm that holds up to 650 ml. The upper cup adds an additional 200 ml, bringing the total capacity to approximately 700 ml, while the overall weight remains light at around 300 g, making it easy to carry throughout the day. The product is designed in soft peach tones that highlight its tactile qualities and flexible structure, and its compact proportions allow for comfortable one-handed use. Suitable for both men and women, the bottle is tailored to fit seamlessly into an urban and sporty lifestyle, combining practicality with an elegant, modern design.
