NON, founded by entrepreneur Aaron Trotman, is a trailblazing non-alcoholic brand that champions a non-conformist ethos, leading a transformative shift in social drinking. To complement this vision, the bottle stopper preserves and prolongs the life of the NON product after opening and reflects the brand’s minimalist approach. Inspired by a retro-futuristic space-age visual language, the stopper evolved into a simple, stylish, stainless steel and silicone artefact. The final design offers low material intensity, compact size, and an airtight seal, preserving carbonation for up to 7 days.

This project was awarded Gold at the Good Design Australia Awards 2024. Learn more about NON here.

The project was completed in 2024 by the Vert Design Sydney team, NON, and their manufacturing partner.
