CADENCE started as a question rather than a product: what does a bottle look like when it is designed for a full day rather than a single moment?

The answer turned out to live almost entirely in the lid. Straw mode for the desk. Direct flow after a workout. One component, sealed shut the moment you start moving.

We are still tuning the finish and the handle balance. Those decisions land in the final weeks before launch, and Founding Builders will see them first.
