Design for drinking

Architect Eric Olsen's Solar Water Disinfecting Tarpaulin is the kind of invention we love—a portable filtration system created for areas where potable water is a luxury. The flexible bag is powered by solar radiation and can be easily filled and carried. (As an added bonus, it doesn't look half-bad as a sarong.) Recently awarded the Metropolis Next Generation Design Prize, it runs circles around the competition. Yeah, Fiji bottle: We're looking at you.
