About Icy Gloine Cocktail

'S e gloine cocktail a th' ann an Icy a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson deochan fuara agus cocktailean sreathach. Tha gach pìos air a shèideadh le beul ann an stiùidio san Fhionnlainn agus air a chumadh ann am molltair fiodha. Bidh seann dhòigh Venetianach a' cruthachadh an uachdar reòthte sgàinte, fhad 's a tha an cruth a' leantainn simplidheachd nuadh Lochlannach. Tha am bile air a chrìochnachadh le lasair airson oir rèidh. Tha an gloine 80 mm ann an trast-thomhas agus 100 mm ann an àirde, a bheir faireachdainn làidir don làimh. Tha gach gloine air a shoidhnigeadh agus air àireamhachadh. 'S e an t-amas nithean làitheil seasmhach a chruthachadh a mhaireas airson deicheadan.

Combination of techniques made the object extremely durable, which is important in drinking glasses designed to last for decades.
Research: The starting point of the process has been to design objects that the user attaches emotional value to. Glasses are made to last for decades. The contrasts in nature and the way they create harmony is desired to be captured in the collection. The rhythm of the glass making process ensures that each object has a individual texture that mimics the movement of the frozen ice.
Inspiration: The Icy Cocktail Glass is inspired by Northern nature and the different states of ice. The project combines ancient Venetian tradition with modern Scandinavian simplicity and usability.

Project Duration: Icy glasses are studio made in Finland. The pieces are designed in 2020 in Helsinki.
Operation Flow: The designer tumbler offers a satisfyingly weighty feel in the hand. The moment when a unique Icy glass is used is special. It is designed to bring harmonious and atmospheric shades to the everyday life. When light is gleaming trough the glass with icy texture, the shadow looks like moving water. The use of the medium is based on the optical properties of glass. Therefore the lively shadows and reflections are important part of the interaction with the glass. The capacity of the drinking glass is aimed for classic drinks and it is specially suitable for layered designer cocktails.
