About arcAdia Italian Vodka (Concept Bottle) Botella de Vodka

arcAdia é unha botella conceptual para vodka italiano. A botella está feita de vidro e ten unha base poligonal de 10 centímetros de diámetro e unha altura de 33 centímetros. A forma multifacetada é doada de suxeitar e de servir. Ofrécense tres versións: un vidro cian mate, un acabado prateado cun 70 por cento de opacidade, e un vidro negro cun 85 por cento de opacidade que aínda así permite ver o vodka no seu interior. Un envase de agasallo en metal lixeiro ábrese xirando a súa parte superior, que permanece pechada durante o transporte. Pretendeuse que a forma resultase sinxela e suxestiva.
