Stainless steel Drinking Bottles
Cold drinks, hot coffee – and a bottle that lasts
A good stainless steel water bottle will see you through all kinds of days. To the office in the morning, the gym in the afternoon and perhaps out into the countryside at the weekend. Above all, it should do one thing: work reliably. Keep drinks cold or hot, stay leakproof and withstand the occasional knock. Looking good while doing it certainly doesn't hurt.
At LIVOSY, you'll find a curated selection of water bottles for everyday life and on the go – including designs by FLSK, Eva Trio and Lund Design House. From minimalist to colourful, compact to generously sized.

A good water bottle puts up with quite a lot
It sits on your desk, travels with you on the train, gets tossed into your gym bag and occasionally lands a little less gently in your backpack on a day out. A water bottle is made to be used – which is exactly why it's worth taking a closer look at the material, craftsmanship and closure.
Stainless steel is particularly well suited to the job. It's robust, durable and taste-neutral. A high-quality stainless steel bottle can accompany you for many years, replacing plenty of single-use bottles along the way.
For some occasions, however, keeping things as light as possible matters more. That's why, alongside stainless steel water bottles, you'll also find selected plastic bottles in our range. Ultimately, it's not about which material is universally 'better', but which water bottle works better for your everyday life.
Cold stays cold. Hot stays hot.
Cool water after hours in the sun? Hot tea even though that walk turned out to be rather longer than planned? That's where insulated bottles come in. In a good double-walled stainless steel water bottle, the insulation reduces heat transfer between the drink and its surroundings. So cold drinks stay cold for longer, and hot drinks stay hot.
Exactly how long depends on the individual insulated bottle. Selected FLSK water bottles, for example, keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 18 hours. That makes an insulated stainless steel water bottle useful well beyond the summer months. In autumn and winter, it can keep tea and other hot drinks warm, while on hot days it helps prevent refreshingly cold water from gradually becoming a rather lukewarm affair.
0.5, 0.75 or 1 litre? It depends.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to capacity. After all, no two days are quite the same. A compact water bottle is easy to carry and works well for the commute or shorter trips. Around 0.5 litres is therefore a practical size for many everyday situations.
If you're out for longer, exercising or simply don't want to refill your bottle all the time, 0.75 litres gives you a little more in reserve. For longer days out and hikes, a 1-litre water bottle can be a sensible choice. More capacity does, of course, mean more weight. Anyone who's spent several hours walking knows that by the third climb, every extra gram suddenly develops a remarkable amount of personality.
From desk to hiking trail
A water bottle for the office has different demands placed on it than one that regularly accompanies you to the gym or on outdoor adventures.
On your desk, design can certainly play a bigger role. Clean shapes, classic stainless steel, black or understated colours fit naturally into a working environment – and a beautiful bottle also provides a subtle reminder to actually drink something every now and then.
For sports and fitness, easy handling, a reliable lid and robust construction matter most. An insulated bottle has the added advantage of keeping your water pleasantly cold even after your workout.
For outdoor activities, hikes and longer days out, capacity, weight and insulation become more important. If you're going to be out for several hours, 0.75 or 1 litre is often a good choice – along with a bottle that can handle a little adventure.
One bottle for everything? It can work. But it doesn't have to.
Small hands, big plans
For children, too, a reusable water bottle can quickly become an everyday companion. A low weight, suitable size and a closure that's easy to use and reliably leakproof are particularly important. And, as we all know, a little colour rarely hurts. The colourful designs from Lund Design House, for example, are also a great choice for younger bottle owners, adding a little extra fun to backpacks filled with lunch boxes, sandwiches and PE kit.
A well-insulated flask can actually come in handy even earlier: new parents can use one to carry hot water for preparing a baby's bottle while out and about. Before preparing a feed, the water temperature should, of course, always be checked in accordance with the recommendations for the infant formula being used.
The lid might be more important than you think
Material, colour, insulation – all important. But once the entire contents of a water bottle have emptied themselves into your backpack, priorities have a remarkable way of changing. A leakproof lid is therefore one of the most important features of any bottle designed for life on the go. The right closure depends on how you use your bottle. A classic screw-top lid is simple and reliable. For sports, quick-access options can be practical, while bottles with a straw may suit other drinking preferences.
The opening is worth considering too. A wider opening makes filling the bottle easier – with ice cubes, for example – and often makes cleaning more convenient as well. And if you enjoy sparkling water or fizzy drinks, there's one more important point: not every water bottle is designed for carbonated drinks. Always check the manufacturer's specifications. Selected FLSK water bottles, for example, are suitable for carbonated drinks and are leakproof.
Because water isn't the only thing worth taking with you
A long day at the office, a train journey on holiday or an afternoon by the lake occasionally calls for a little more than good hydration. That's why a water bottle pairs perfectly with a few other on-the-go essentials. In our collections, you'll also find lunch boxes for breakfast, snacks or lunch, as well as insulated travel mugs for coffee and other hot drinks.
So your water bottle, lunch box and insulated food container can all come along to the office, the gym or on your travels. Practical? Very. The fact that they can look rather good while doing it is something we'll happily take too.
A bottle can be practical. And beautiful, too!
Water bottles are among those things we use almost every day. Which is precisely why we don't think they need to look purely functional. We like considered shapes, pleasing materials and colours you won't tire of after three weeks. That's why at LIVOSY you'll find a carefully curated mix of designs and functions – currently including water bottles from FLSK, Eva Trio and Lund Design House. Sometimes minimalist in stainless steel or black, sometimes colourful, sometimes a high-performance insulated bottle. What they share is the idea of making a very ordinary object just that little bit better.
Because in the end, the best water bottle isn't necessarily the one with the most features. It's the one you're happy to pack in the morning – and hopefully haven't left somewhere by the evening.
