About Bonsai Glerbolli
Bonsai er glerbolli hannaður fyrir heita drykki. Bolurinn fylgir línum sem sækja innblástur í loga, og handfangið er mótað eftir náttúrulegri sveigju handarinnar til að tryggja þægilegt og öruggt grip. Gegnsætt glerið sýnir lit drykkjarins og endurvarpar ljósi yfir hið mótaða yfirborð. Bollinn er gerður úr natrónkalkgleri, endingargóðu efni sem þolir hitabreytingar og má endurvinna aftur og aftur. Við framleiðsluna er notað hjaralamað mót úr ryðfríu stáli og glerbræðslumótunarferli. Hver bolli rúmar 250 ml, með 75 mm þvermál og 87 mm hæð.

- 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.
