====== BODUM ======

Founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1944 by Peter Bodum, the brand is guided by the philosophy that "good design doesn't have to be expensive." **BODUM** is globally recognized for popularizing the French Press coffee maker and innovating with double-walled borosilicate glass.

===== 1. The French Press (Chambord) =====
While the French Press was invented in France, Bodum perfected it for the mass market. The iconic **Chambord** design features a borosilicate glass beaker housed in a chrome-plated steel frame. The heat-resistant glass is essential, as boiling water is poured directly into the vessel.

===== 2. Double-Wall Innovation (Pavina) =====
Bodum revolutionized drinkware with its **Double-Wall Glasses** (such as the Pavina line).
  * **The Science**: Two layers of mouth-blown borosilicate glass create a vacuum-sealed air pocket.
  * **The Benefit**: This layer acts as insulation, keeping hot drinks hot without burning your fingers, and cold drinks cold without forming messy condensation ("sweat") on the outside.
  * **Valve Technology**: A patented silicone valve at the base allows the glass to "breathe," equalizing pressure and preventing the glass from shattering as the air inside expands and contracts.
