For years we’ve been spotting one particularly sculptural water dispenser in the kitchens of the design-minded and eco-conscious. Recently we did a deep dive; here’s everything you need to know.
Above: Introducing the Walter filter. It’s a ceramic vessel (the company calls clay the “elemental material”), with a lid, top chamber, bottom chamber, a stainless steel spout, a maple handle, and a Berkey filter inside. They’re hand-made in Brooklyn by founder Cassie Griffin and her team. Shown here is the Walter in White.
Note: The Walter site is currently undergoing a revamp. In the meanwhile, the Walter Ceramic Water Filter in white is available via Goop for $450. Keep an eye on the Walter site and @walterfilter for relaunch updates.
Above: The Walter also comes in a variety of textures and painted designs, offering a design-forward—and much more eco-friendly—alternative to disposable bottles. Above: Another painted Walter. Also available: a hand-forged steel Walter Stand, made by blacksmith Jim Wyckoff in Pennsylvania. Above: The anatomy of a Walter. For more on how it works, head here.
