In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's important to take a step back and appreciate the small but significant moments with loved ones. For John Jensen, those moments were best spent on his Tendr 20, a Dutch channel boat where he would spend his summer weekends with family and friends exploring the surrounding lakes in Silkeborg, Denmark. While taking in the lakeside views, enjoying a glass of wine or a beer with good company was his cherished moment. However, these moments were sometimes spoiled by minor mishaps like spilling drinks and a lack of cup holders. As an engineer, John knew there had to be a better solution, and after a year and a half of iterations, his solution became Portus & Navis' flagship product: STILLA.

Solving Common Problems on the Water with STILLA

The Problem: Spilling Drinks and a Lack of Cup Holders

On the water, it's not uncommon for a boat passing by to create a bow wave that can cause drinks to spill. John Jensen and his guests were no exception to this, and sometimes, the mess could be awkward and embarrassing to clean up. Additionally, John's boat only had enough cup holders for four people, leaving his family and guests with no choice but to hold their drinks or risk setting them on the table where accidents could happen. Adding more cup holders would ruin the boat's overall look, and there were no good wine glass holding solutions available on the market.

The Solution: STILLA

To solve these common problems on the water, John designed STILLA, a multifunctional cup and bottle holder that accommodates multiple types of beverages, including wine glasses. STILLA expands the number of available cup holder options on the boat without having to drill more cup holder holes, and it even has a bottle holding solution. Due to the limited space onboard, STILLA is space conscious, portable, and storable. With STILLA, John and his guests can now enjoy their drinks without worrying about spills or a lack of cup holders.
