Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The big Five! With the Design Drinking Set - consisting of five glass straws - we are making a striking statement. Each straw was engraved gracefully and individually. Five straws - 5 cities - 5 ornaments. A seemingly mundane object is now given an aesthetic and magical quality.
- Inspiration
- What do you think? How many plastic straws are thrown away every day? Millions? Billions? The second guess is right! There are 3-6 billion plastic straws that end up in the garbage every day worldwide. The amount thrown away is roughly equivalent to the weight of 500 orca whales. So good, that finally there will be a ban on plastic drinking straws in the EU in 2021.
- Challenge
- The set is a loving homage to the ornamentation of the early 19th century and combines design culture with the sustainability thought of today. The packaging is made of an innovative ecological grass cardboard, the locally produced glass straws sit stably in an individually manufactured inlay with an additional cleaning brush made of cotton fibers. The straws can be cleaned and reused up to 1042 times in the dishwasher. WOW! Drink and enjoy.
- Realization and Technology
- Made of high quality Schott glass, it is handmade and packaged in a traditional glassworks in Munich meets ecological grass cardboard.
- Operation and Interaction
- Sustainable? But not only analog! A QR-Code is located on the box itself, which leads you directly to an ever-growing collection of Planet Engagement Tips, driven by passion. Let's engage and stimulate new learnings and behaviors for more daily impact and progress. Think chilli - drink chilli and live sustainably. Cheers.
