Phil is compact, a small and precious fillable container. The list with the addresses of drinking fountains reminds us that every city has a privileged relationship with water, the most precious and often forgotten of public assets. This project is an amusing invitation to use more taps and less bottled water.
Tap Water is cool. Phil the bottle is the City Bottle that chooses free water, offered by the drinking fountains to be found in cities, in parks and gardens, in squares and along the streets. Using Phil the bottle is not only a responsible choice, because water is the contemporary gold and environmental pollution must be reduced. It is also an invitation to become modern water finders who, while searching for water, will find new and unknown city locations, learn new itineraries and discover new perspectives. Each Phil the bottle is dedicated to a specific city; there are a Paris bottle and a London one, a Tokyo and a Milan bottle, and so on, creating a collection of cities – and bottles – that grows over time.
