Chako Lab
Award-winning insulated drinkware that keeps drinks perfect for hours while looking effortlessly cool on your desk.
Chako Lab brings colour and considered design to a category that has felt pretty beige for a long time. Founded in 2020 and proudly based in mainland China, the brand holds more than 30 Chinese patents and design registrations, and its work has been recognised with both a Red Dot and an iF Design Award. The brand name is an acronym the founders coined: Colourful, Healthy, Attractive, Keep Objective, meaning "keep true."
Every piece is built from 316 stainless steel, the same grade used in medical instruments, a step up from the 304 used by most premium insulated brands. The LinLin Kettle adds a ceramic interior coating and holds cold drinks for up to 36 hours. The BaoBao Cup is a compact insulated cup with a built-in spoon that suits yoghurt, coffee and smoothies equally. The Dual Layer Tumbler is two cups in one: a high borosilicate glass inner paired with a stainless outer for hot or cold use.
