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. This couldn't have been a coincidence. So Belinda applied for the job opening 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 doesn't fall short, Belinda also runs her own 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 she was: the inspiration for a new soulbottles motif. It was to be a minimalist motif with simple, unobtrusive typography, yet still with playful elements. This is 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 daily routine that would have been impossible without regular water drinking.

Belinda on soulbottles: "I'm incredibly happy that I was able to experience this wonderful philosophy from the very beginning. It's truly amazing how a chaotic room in a shared apartment with eight people could turn into a company with over 30 men and women. But one thing has remained constant throughout: so much love!"
