The Design
About 2182 Vessel Copa de vino
2182 Vessel es una copa de vino en cerámica diseñada para contener champán de alta gama. Su forma remite a cuatro recipientes históricos para beber: la pátera, el kylix, la copa tazza y la copa de champán. Una amplia abertura permite que el aroma se difunda rápidamente. La degustación se produce en dos etapas. La parte superior, poco profunda, contiene la primera porción y potencia el sentido del olfato. La estrecha sección intermedia ralentiza la oxidación, de modo que el vino contenido en la parte inferior, más profunda, conserva su sabor. La copa mide 50 mm de ancho, 50 mm de profundidad y 140 mm de altura.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The wine glass is designed with the feature of big opening shared by the four types of glasses, which can enable the aroma to be quickly diffused. I hope to mobilize the user's senses as much as possible with more attraction from the perspectives of smell and taste.
The depth of the upper part is designed as per the extremely shallow state of the Tazza cup. The Tazza cup was regarded as a symbol of social status in Italy during the 16th century. To drink from such a shallow glass without spillage, the superb craftsmanship as well as the user's attention on the drink itself are also indispensable. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 50 mm x Depth 50 mm x Height 140 mm

- Production Technology
- Vessel made of ceramic materials
- Design Challenge
- The wine glass is designed to specially contain the premium champagne. The shape is designed by reference to four glass shapes of "Patera", "Kylix", "Tazza cup" and "champagne coupe".
- Research
- The speculative design attempts to encourage the drinkers to more focus on the drinking process with a better drinking experience through the ceramic structure.
- Inspiration
- Since the shape of wine glass will bring influence on the user's sense of taste and smell, I’ve studied various existing wine glasses during the design to decide on the shape and the wine type it’s suitable to contain.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2021 in London and finished in February 2022 in Jingdezhen.
- Operation Flow
- The drinking process will consist of two stages: the stage in the shallow upper part and the stage in the deep lower part. When the drinker starts to enjoy the wine in the upper part, the large opening of the glass can help the aroma diffuse more quickly to agitate the olfactory experience. When enjoying the wine in the lower part, because the small diameter in the middle can reduce the oxidation rate of the wine so that the taste will not be changed.
