Not one, not two, but three BODUM products were selected as winners in the 2008 Good Design Award. The three products chosen for this internationally renowned seal of design excellence included the new PRESSO Double Wall Glass with Colored Silicone Band, the BISTRO Stainless Steel Double Wall French Press Coffee Maker and the CANTEEN Double Wall Tea Cup with Infuser.

Slated for debut at the 2009 International Home + Housewares Show in March; the PRESSO Double Wall Glass is the latest addition to the award-winning BODUM Double Wall Glass Collection. Made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, the PRESSO glasses -- available with interchangeable colored silicone band -- will keep hot contents hot for a much longer period of time while remaining cool to the touch, and will keep cold contents cold without condensation.

BODUM products are designed with more than style in mind. Since its inception, the BODUM French Press system has been one of the "greenest" methods for brewing coffee. The BODUM press system does not require the use of disposable paper filters and the brewing process itself is entirely manual -- that is, "unplugged." As a company lowering its carbon footprint by implementing sustainable manufacturing processes, the BODUM-owned factory in Portugal that produces the BODUM Chambord as well as other BODUM products uses renewable energy.

Founded in Chicago in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Edgar Kaufmann Jr. and Charles and Ray Eames, GOOD DESIGN 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 basic product and consumer design. This year, the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design received submissions from more than 48 countries for this award program, representing the work of thousands of designers and manufacturers.
