From i9 Bottle to VIREA Living Bottle

It is not just a new name. It is the next step in the evolution of the i9 Bottle — a new identity, new shades and the same Poznik technology.

The i9 Bottle has accompanied many of you for years. Now it takes its next step. VIREA Living Bottle carries the continuity of the i9 Bottle into a new visual identity, new shades and a new language. The technological foundation remains.

The design changes.
The values remain.

Why we are moving from i9 Bottle to VIREA

It is not just a new name. It is the next step in the evolution of the product.

  • A softer, more refined shape. The upper and lower rings give the bottle a softer, more balanced and contemporary silhouette.
  • New identity. VIREA becomes the name of the bottle itself. The name on the upper ring unifies the product.
  • New energy. We are moving from a “technical” bottle to a collection that people can form their own relationship with.
  • New shades. The color palette takes on a much greater role — each variant gains its own name and personality.

VIREA Living Bottle is the new identity of the i9 Bottle.

The technology remains

VIREA Living Bottle continues to use Poznik information technology. The information tag remains part of the bottle — lightly updated for the present. The product concept evolves: the i9 Bottle becomes a new generation with a new identity, shape and expression.

Behind it are more than 60 years of invention, research and technological development, and more than 90 international awards, medals, prizes and recognitions associated with Vili Poznik. Hydronic technology, information imprint, data capture and treatment, information transfer — water and information have long been at the centre of Poznik technological work, carried forward into the i9 Bottle and now into VIREA Living Bottle.

VIREA – inspired by vitality

VIREA is inspired by the Latin virēre — to be green, to thrive, to flourish. For us, above all, it is an idea of vitality.

Water is the foundation of life. Color brings emotion. The name gives each variant its character. And everyday use turns it into a personal ritual.

A new energy for the collection

The VIREA collection brings together colour, meaning, energy and everyday ritual. Every VIREA speaks in four layers:

  • Color — the first contact. What a person sees and feels.
  • Meaning — each color receives its own name and imagery.
  • Energy center — a subtle second layer for those who want to experience it.
  • Ritual — the choice connects with a specific moment in everyday life.

VIREA is more than a colour. Each bottle has its own character, meaning and mood.

11 colors · 11 names · 11 different moods
