DissassembledThe Alex Hydration Bottle created by Carlsbadistan-based company Nice Reusables is now an “award winning” water bottle, according to a story in the San Diego Union Tribune.

Its Alex Hydration Bottle, won “Best in Category for Tabletop & Beverageware” at the 2011 Housewares Design Awards. . . “When we started this, we had no idea where it would go, and obviously the functionality was what we started with,” company co-founder Chris Hotell said. “To be recognized for the design part of it is such an accomplishment for us.”

Hotell owns the company with his wife, Olympic snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler and his mom Marta Hotell. Support a local Carlsbadistan company and click here to buy one.
