Coca-Cola Bottles

Whilst browsing through blogs i came across a new design for the well known Coca-cola drinks bottles. A design student Andrew Kim, has completely changed the way our Coke bottles could be in the future.

The main change to been noticed is the fact the bottle would be square, compared to the current round drinks bottle. Having the new bottles square is considered to be Eco friendly as each bottle would take up far less space when in the shipping pallets, and having an arch in the bottom large enough to accommodate the cap of the bottle underneath it. This would also make the bottles available to be stacked in transit and when on sale in shops etc. The cap to be drank from has been placed offset for better an apparent better drink ability factor.

Below is the new shaped bottle compared to the current bottle.

Another feature of the new shaped bottles is that underneath the label the bottle will be ribbed so that when the bottle is used it can be squashed down almost like an accordion. This will enable more room in the recycling truck.

I cannot personally decide weather i like this new bottle design or not. I think these would be very eye catching as they are so different to the current bottles, and definitely good for the environment. I no they are only a design made by a freshmen in America, however i think these are god enough to be used in the real world.
