The HOMEO Therms Bottle is a thermos flask that allows the user to adjust the properties of the thermal insulation. The interior of the vessel is equipped with two thin, conductive aluminium sheets and magnets on the sides, as well as rotating magnets of opposite polarity in the base. If the magnets and the aluminium elements have the same polarity, they are pushed upwards and rest against the wall of the vacuum chamber. When the heat is conducted outwards in this way, the bottle is able to cool down. “The HOMEO Therms Bottle impresses with its understated aesthetics, which cleverly conceals the complex internal structure of the product,” the jury agreed.
