Genius iiammo Go Baby Bottle Heats Milk With Chemistry

by Matthew Zuras on January 6, 2010 at 05:50 PM

It's curvilinear and magenta, so it could only be a product by Karim Rashid. The perpetually colorful designer has just created the iiamo Go, a self-warming baby bottle for the eco-conscious, haute-design mommy (and baby). In place of electrical heating, the iiamo Go utilizes cartridges of dehydrated calcium chloride -- a common salt -- and water. Re-hydrating the salt produces an exothermic reaction, which then warms the milk to body temperature, much to your baby's delight.

The bottle itself is molded from BPA-free polypropylene, so you need not worry about the iiamo Go giving your infant an extra eyeball. We don't have details yet on pricing or availability, but the Go makes us want to adopt dozens of children, just so we have an excuse to feed them with this zany bottle. [From: Dezeen, via: DVICE]

iiamo has just won a GOOD DESIGN 2009 Award - one of the most if not the most prestigious design award in the world.

To give you an idea GOOD Design was founded in Chicago in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. and bestows international recognition upon the world's most prominent designers and manufacturers for advancing new, visionary, and innovative product concepts, invention and originality, and for stretching the envelope beyond what is considered ordinary product and consumer design.

iiamo won together with among others Apple and NASA (!) and will be exhibited at The Chicago Athenaeum in the GOOD DESIGN Show for 2010 in Chicago in June, 2010.

Also, iiamo just received a Best of Year 2009 Merit Award from Interior Design Magazine.
