About Bonsai Стъклена чаша

Bonsai е стъклена чаша, предназначена за топли напитки. Тялото следва контури, вдъхновени от пламък, а дръжката е оформена така, че да съответства на естествената извивка на ръката за удобен и сигурен захват. Прозрачното стъкло разкрива цвета на напитката и отразява светлината по скулптурираната повърхност. Чашата е изработена от натриево-калциево стъкло — издръжлив материал, устойчив на температурни промени, който може да се рециклира многократно. Производството използва шарнирна форма от неръждаема стомана и процес на формоване чрез стъклена стопилка. Всяка чаша побира 250 мл, с диаметър 75 мм и височина 87 мм.

Production Technology: The mug made from soda-lime glass. The material is known for its strength, durability and temperature resistance. it made with hinge stainless steel mold and glass melt forming process. The glass can be molded and crafted in a variety of very different shapes and thicknesses. It is an infinitely recyclable material that can be re-melted again and again minimizing waste and environmental impact.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was connecting the flame to the handle of glass while considering manufacturability due to manufacturing constraints.
Research: It was a conceptual design that started with a sketch and was brought to life and production with the help of common modeling software. Considering the primary goal of any business, which is to generate revenue and sales, the goal of this product was to showcase elegance with a conceptual design for the artistic tastes and market of the customers.
Inspiration: This mug design takes inspiration from the eternal dance of fire. Flames have always fascinated humanity-not only as a source of warmth and light, but also as a symbol of passion, transformation and energy. The presence of this essence in a practical, every day product turns this mug into a piece of art that carries deeper meaning.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2024 for Sakura Brand at Noritazeh Glass Company in Tehran, Iran, and finished in April 2025.
Operation Flow: This glass mug with a flame‑inspired body and ergonomic handle is simple to use: pour your drink, grip the handle, and sip. Its sculpted curves catch and bend light, so as liquid level changes the appearance subtly shifts a small, elegant transformation. The integrated flame form improves grip and balance while amplifying visual appeal, making each drink feel steadier and more special.
