TIMELINE
1944: Peter Bodum starts a new company in Copenhagen, Denmark following World War II, and establishes the brand's core philosophy that form should follow function.
1958: BODUM® introduces its first product, the SANTOS vacuum coffee maker. Internationally acclaimed for its unique design, it remains one of the most popular coffee makers throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
1974: Jørgen Bodum, the founder's son, takes over as CEO of the company at age 26. In the same year he introduced BODUM®'s first French Press coffee maker, the BISTRO. The French Press method has been internationally recognized as the most environmentally friendly coffee maker.
1978: The company home office is relocated to Switzerland.
1980: BODUM®'s design unit, Pi-Design AG is established. This in-house team of designers, engineers, graphic designers, and architects, develops all of BODUM®'s products; focusing on functionality, quality and innovation.

1991: The now iconic ASSAM teapot is developed for the British Tea Council. With the ASSAM, BODUM® reinvented tea brewing by applying the same principles from the French coffee press system: a brewing process in a spacious filter easily stoppable by pressing down a plunger.
