Insert
The modules slot into one another, sealed at every joint.

01 // THE BOTTLE
Hydration as a personal act of construction
Giocuosa is a water bottle made of stackable 250 ml modules, up to four, so one litre at most. You choose how many to carry, depending on how long the activity lasts or what you want to drink. Each module works on its own, and a transparent cap closes the stack at the top. Stacked up, the blocks read like a small totem, where every piece is a choice.

02 // THE JOINT
Insert, then turn
Each module slots into the next through a fastening system, with internal seals that stop leaks. Once a module is in, turning it switches the mode. A transparent indicator on its side shows which one is set: lined up with the module above or below, it lets the liquid pass between the two. Out of line, the modules stay sealed, and different liquids stay apart.
Turn
A rotation decides whether a module shares its liquid with the next.
03 // PRODUCTION
Designed for injection molding
Giocuosa is designed to be injection molded in polypropylene, and the process decided its wall thicknesses, joints and surface finishes. Every module shares the same simple shapes, so any combination still looks like one object.
