It's tough to imagine anyone who would be able to recycle the Karim Rashid Anestasia bottle. The beautiful bottle was created by the New York designer over a period of a year and gets its sharply angular shape from the letters "v" and "k." In addition to designing the shape of the bottle, Rashid also did the typography and logo. For those who have never heard of Anestasia Vodka, the company is based in America and its liquor is gluten-free.
Many beverage companies have turned to designers to design bottles. Japanese design firm Nendo and architectural firm Zaha Hadid are just two of the companies that recently created beverage bottles. The Karim Rashid Anestasia bottle is one of the prettiest of the bunch, however.
