Tap water – How the soubottle motif came about

Belinda is something of a soulbottles veteran. Back in Vienna, her home was exactly one floor below the shared apartment of Paul and Georg, the soulbottles founders. That couldn't be a coincidence. So Belinda applied for the job advertisement as a volunteer in the graphics department. That's how she ended up designing the very first soulbottles with water-soluble foil in the shared apartment. Today, her official job title is "Social Media and Content Marketing Manager". To ensure that creativity is not neglected, Belinda is also self-employed with her creative studio "Studio Libertà".

About the motif

How did Belinda come up with the motif? Quite simply, she made a typo. When writing "tap water". And there it was, the inspiration for a new soulbottles motif. It was to be a minimalist motif with simple, unobtrusive typography. But still with playful elements. That's how the performance barometer on the side came about. At the same time, the motif also reflects Belinda's situation at the time: a busy, high-performance everyday life that would not have been possible without drinking water regularly.

Belinda about soulbottles: "I am incredibly happy that I was able to experience this great philosophy from the beginning. It's really amazing how a chaotic room in a shared flat with 8 people could become a company with over 30 men and women. But one thing has remained the same throughout: so much love!"
