Chunky

It’s Chunky here. We make drink bottles. But there’s more to us than that. We are on a mission to bring the work of inspiring new artists into the everyday. Call it portable art, call it high-brow hydration, whatever you call it, just know that this beautifully-crafted, double-walled, food-grade 304 stainless steel bottle is: ONE SMALL STAND AGAINST THE MUNDANE! Chunky was launched in Queenstown, New Zealand in 2017 when we collaborated with 2 amazing artists to create 4 designs that would bring something different to the market. Back then, we were selling our stainless steel drink bottles out of one Queenstown store. By 2018, we had 12 artists, 30 designs, an online store and 100+ retail stores around New Zealand. Today we have 46 designs by 20 international artists and distribution to retail stores in Australia and New Zealand. The Chunky team knows how hard it is for emerging artists to get a break. That’s why we don't work with established artists - we only want to work with artists who haven’t yet found the exposure they deserve. We have been approached by established artists looking to work with Chunky, and it’s been flattering. But we have politely turned them down. They don’t need us.
