304 Stainless Steel
Primary structural material for durability, cleanability, and daily use.
The Calculated Chemist
A scientific form, rebuilt for daily use.
The Flask Vessel takes the familiar Erlenmeyer silhouette out of the laboratory and rebuilds it as a durable everyday drink vessel.
Constructed from 304 stainless steel with double-wall insulation, a matte powder-coated finish, laser-engraved calibration markings, and a leak-resistant lid, it is designed for daily hydration, desk use, gifting, and custom organizational programs.
The form remains recognizable. The material system changes: stainless steel instead of glass, insulation instead of exposure, portability instead of fragility.
- 500 mL capacity
- Double-wall insulated construction
- 304 stainless steel interior and exterior
- Matte powder-coated exterior finish
- Permanent laser-engraved calibration markings
- Leak-resistant lid with integrated carry strap
- Suitable for water, coffee, tea, and everyday beverages
- Available for custom logo projects, corporate gifting, and trade programs
The Flask Vessel is inspired by laboratory form, but it is not laboratory equipment. Do not use with chemicals, reagents, corrosive liquids, or experimental substances.
OBJECT RECORD · 001
A scientific form, rebuilt for daily use.
The Erlenmeyer flask is one of the most recognizable silhouettes in science. It signals experimentation, precision, and the act of making something new.
The Flask Vessel takes that form out of the laboratory and rebuilds it as a durable everyday object. The shape remains familiar, but the material system changes: stainless steel instead of glass, insulation instead of exposure, portability instead of fragility.

MATERIAL SYSTEM
Built from materials that make sense.
The Flask Vessel is made with a 304 stainless steel interior and exterior, chosen for durability, cleanability, and daily handling. The double-wall construction adds insulation while giving the object a solid, substantial feel in the hand.
The exterior uses a matte powder-coated finish for grip, surface depth, and a more refined appearance than glossy plastic or printed novelty drinkware. Each standard vessel includes laser-engraved calibration markings on the front.

MARKINGS

FORM / FUNCTION
The Erlenmeyer silhouette, made portable.
Traditional laboratory flasks were never designed to leave the bench. Glass breaks. Open tops spill. The shape is symbolic, but not portable.
The Flask Vessel keeps the recognizable tapered geometry while solving the problems that make laboratory glass impractical for everyday use. A leak-resistant lid, carry strap, stainless steel body, and insulated wall system make the object durable enough for daily movement.

FINISH ARCHIVE
Colorways selected for restraint, not novelty.
Each finish is selected to support the object’s form rather than distract from it. The palette is built around technical neutrals and controlled color: finishes that work across individual use, corporate gifting, and brand customization.

COMMISSIONED OBJECTS
Built for individual use. Ready for organizational marks.
The Flask Vessel was designed as a single object system with multiple customization points. For companies, distributors, retailers, laboratories, universities, museums, and technical organizations, it can be adapted through logo engraving, lid marks, strap customization, and packaging support.
The standard front calibration markings remain fixed. Custom branding is typically placed on the back side of the vessel, where vertical logo placement works with the tapered form.

Corporate Gifting
Premium scientific objects for launches, conferences, internal teams, and client gifts.
Distributor Programs
Clear customization paths, mockup support, pricing structure, and repeatable decoration systems.
Museum & Retail
Science-led products for museum shops, university stores, and technical retail environments.
Everyday Use
Calibrated vessels and scientific forms for people who prefer useful objects with a precise point of view.
AGAINST DISPOSABLE SCIENCE SWAG
Not another catalog object with a science graphic printed on it.
Most science merchandise starts with a generic product and adds a periodic table, molecule, or lab joke. The result is often disposable, forgettable, and disconnected from the material culture of science.
The Flask Vessel starts with the scientific object itself. The form, markings, materials, and customization system are all part of the design.
