    Whakatane, New Zealand · Deep aquifer · Six one-litre glass bottles

    Why it's here

    Water is the first thing poured at dinner and the last thing anyone thinks about. A plastic bottle on a laid table undoes everything around it. Antipodes comes from a deep aquifer in New Zealand, in a heavy glass bottle with the name printed straight onto it. It treats water as the essential it is, and it is the bottle you will find beside the wine in serious dining rooms.

    The object

    The water is drawn from far underground at Whakatane, in the Bay of Plenty, and is very low in minerals, so it tastes of nothing and interferes with nothing. The bottle is thick-walled, with rounded shoulders and plain white lettering.

    Living with it

    Keep a case in the pantry and two bottles cold. Put one on the table whenever you open wine. The empties are handsome enough to refill and keep in the fridge.
