Therm-O-Mania
Text: Billy Bride
Feeling tired? Gloomy? All dried up inside? I think I have the key to cure what ails you! If nourishing your dusty innards, whilst simultaneously stimulating your creative genomes is your idea of a good time – boy, have I got the item for you! It’s Bodum‘s indispensable, can’t-live-without, take-everywhere ‘Design-A-Thermos’.
“Thermos? Thermos?” I can already hear the incredulity in your voices. Never fear, this compact, chic, intelligent contraption is nothing like the cumbersome grubby Gremlin-themed germ farms we carted around as pre-schoolers. It’s been 10 years and mankind has made some astounding technological advances. These marvellous interchangeable insulators come in a variety of ergonomic options. The simpler model acts as a standard travel mug (with a twist), keeping cool drinks cool, and hot drinks hotter. This works well for teas, shakes and juices on the go. The more advanced option, molded from plastic and steel, has all the insulative powers of the first, but with an added ingenious inbuilt plunger feature. This means you can cart about freshly brewed steamers of your fave gourmet coffee blends, or harness your inner well being with your own individually concocted loose-leaf tea infusions. Brilliant!
But best of all, these multi-sized magnifico’s have been designed with a little creative space inside, a blank canvas if you will, as each Bodum thermos comes with an interchangeable custom insert panel that slips neatly between the unique trademarked double-wall exterior. Within these walls exists your own portable universe of creative expression, an empty space crying out to be adorned with all the wild and wondrous images of your craziest imaginings. The two of you shall be inseparable!
