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.

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.

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.
