Interviews

Design Interview

What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

The main idea came up to our minds when we thought what if a cocktail could be like a perfume that has several phases with different scents.

What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

We wanted to design a new cocktail which has different flavors that one could taste step by step and that needed a new ingredient that could preserve different flavors so we chose chia seed because of its glace quality and we also added eatable colors which has wonderful glow under black light for clubs so one can have a glowing shot !

What are your future plans for this award winning design?

We really hope that we could get a chance for mass producing this design and finally see it in the market.
