From idea to solution

Every empty bottle is a new opportunity – that's the motto behind Pumphead. What began as a pretty liqueur bottle is now a clever upcycling product: an attachment that transforms almost any glass bottle into a stylish soap dispenser in no time. But how exactly is a Pumphead made?

The idea: preserve beauty, add function

Pumphead founder David Brönnimann originally pursued a completely different career – as a medical masseur. But everything changed with the founding of his spirits brand Lewa spirits in 2019. His bottles were so well-received that many customers didn't want to simply throw them away. The solution: upcycling instead of recycling. And so the idea for Pumphead was born – out of a desire to meaningfully combine design and function.

The beginning: A product is created

In 2020, David took the bold step of developing a new product. The challenge was ambitious: The attachment had to fit as many bottles as possible—whether for soap, shower gel, or disinfectant. But the core component, the adapter, presented a particular challenge.
