About Icy カクテルグラス
Icyは、冷たいドリンクやレイヤードカクテルのために設計されたカクテルグラスです。一点一点がフィンランドのスタジオで吹きガラスによって成形され、木型を用いて形づくられています。古くから伝わるヴェネツィアの技法によって氷のようなひび割れ模様の表面が生まれ、フォルムは現代的な北欧のシンプルさに従っています。飲み口は炎で仕上げ、滑らかなエッジを実現しました。直径80mm、高さ100mmという寸法は、手にしたときにしっかりとした安定感を与えます。すべてのグラスにサインとナンバリングが施されています。目指したのは、何十年にもわたって使い続けられる、耐久性のある日常の道具をつくることです。
