we knew we couldn’t be the only ones tired of having an ugly water pitcher hidden in the fridge! no more trying to keep guest in the other room while we get them a glass of water thanks to soma! having met the founders of the company we are already convinced that they will live up to their three promises: ‘look great, work well, and do good.’ the simple design of the glass carafe is beautiful, and completely table worthy for a party, but they didn’t stop there. they did all the work for us here and made the water filter 100% natural and compostable! according to their article in good, they say “for the carbon granules that do most of the filtration, we identified all-natural malaysian coconut shells. for the external casing we tracked down a food-based pla composite that was surprisingly durable, even though it’s compostable. and, when it came to the final layer of filtration—which is typically done with a plastic screen, we came across a vegan silk from india.” you had us at all natural, but vegan just put it over the top!

oh wait! we haven’t even told you the best part yet. soma is partnered up with charity: water to help provide clean drinking water with proceeds from every purchase. did you know that there are over 800 million people living without clean drinking water? you can watch their journey to ethiopa #somathrive soma + charity: water to learn more. as charity: water stresses, these people didn’t choose to be born in a place with these circumstances, but for a small amount out of our pockets we can help improve their lives.  buy a beautiful and natural water filter and help those in need at the same time! we know we can’t wait to get ours!

don’t miss the soma water bar at dwell on design this weekend in los angeles where you can see their beautiful design in person!
