London-based creative studio Blond has designed a baby bottle with a fully silicone interior that it claims makes it one of the most hygienic bottles on the market.
Made from three components ? a plastic lid, an ultra-wide silicone teat and a silicone bottle ? the Borrn baby bottle's defining feature is its sandwich structure which means that the contents of the bottle never come into contact with plastic, only BPA-free medical-grade silicone.
The structure is achieved using twin-shot moulding technology ? an advanced moulding process which encapsulates the bottle's plastic structure inside the silicone.

As a result the walls of the bottle are thicker than is standard, making it more durable. The silicone can also withstand extreme temperatures allowing it to be sterilised repeatedly with little or no wear. "At Blond, we aim for a reduction in plastic waste wherever possible, as part of every project," Blond director James Melia told Dezeen. "However, due to the nature and make-up of certain products, such as baby bottles; plastic and plastic-based materials will often still provide advantages over other alternatives."
"In these instances, we believe it is important to design for longevity. As Dieter Rams would say: 'Less but Better'. These bottles have been designed with this thought process in-mind."

As well as thicker walls and a greater tolerance of high temperatures, the bottles come with different silicone lids that eventually replace t...
