About Ripple Lehen Funtzioa: Edalontzi Sorta

Liburuaren Testua: Uraren mugimendu erritmikoan inspiratuta, Ripple sortak edalontzi klasikoak berrinterpretatzen ditu material modernoak erabiliz. Hotel, jatetxe eta kafetegietarako diseinatuta, beiraren itxura eta janarirako segurua den polipropilenoaren iraunkortasuna konbinatzen ditu. Olatu-itxurako ehundurak heldulekua hobetzen du eta irristatzea murrizten, eta zehaztasunezko moldaketak akabera argi eta beira-itxurakoa sortzen du. Arina, talkekiko erresistentea, pilagarria eta birziklagarria, Ripple-k zerbitzu eraginkorra eta erabilera praktikoa errazten ditu merkataritza-inguruneetan.

Production Technology
The Ripple series is produced using special molds and injection technology, with high-quality, food-safe polypropylene. Crystal like effects reminiscent of glass are achieved through precise mold engineering. Despite its lightweight structure, it offers high impact resistance, is dishwasher-safe, and durable enough for industrial use. All forms are made from recyclable materials and are available in translucent color options.
Design Challenge
Creating a three-dimensional surface effect in polypropylene requires high precision in mold production. At the same time, the surface must be durable, ergonomic, and aesthetically pleasing.
Reproducing the elegance of glass using a safe material presents a design and manufacturing challenge of balance one that is achieved through interdisciplinary collaboration.
Research
Throughout the design process, user behaviors and usage scenarios within the HoReCa sector are thoroughly analyzed. Visual clarity, stackability, and ergonomic use are prioritized. To optimize the design both aesthetically and technically, various prototypes are developed. Traditional sketching methods are supported by digital 3D modeling tools throughout the process. A multidisciplinary collaboration with the engineering team is carried out to ensure that the final molded product is free from deformation, has high surface quality, and establishes a strong interaction with light.
Inspiration
The Ripple series takes inspiration from rhythm and flow. The wave-like traces left by water and the repetitive patterns in nature shape its design language. Reinterpreting the classic glass form, the series blends aesthetics, lightness, and durability. Its rhythmic texture, paired with architectural simplicity and modern materials, adds refined dynamism to any setting.
Specially developed for the HoReCa sector, it enhances the sensory experience of beverage service in luxurious spaces like beach clubs, poolside lounges, and upscale restaurants.
Project Duration
The design process begins in January 2024 in Izmir and is completed in April 2025. The product is launched shortly thereafter under the Kapp brand.
Operation Flow
The Ripple series, with its simple yet striking form, invites a rethinking of how drinks are presented. The wave-inspired surface not only enhances ergonomic grip but also offers a practical, non-slip advantage.
Its stackable design saves space behind the bar and allows for safe use in high-paced service environments without the worry of breakage.
What truly defines the series is its interaction with light: the rhythmic patterns on the surface refract light, giving the glasses a vibrant and sophisticated look in any setting. This transforms ordinary drink service into an aesthetic experience.
