About Elan Vital Sifreya Cam

Ji ber ku bi rêkûpêk bi rêkûpêk motîfên kasa lihevhatî ku hevdîtinek kêfê xeyal dikin, sêwiran tijî dînamîzmek e ku xalên polka yên zirav, rijandin, an gogên kemînê yên dibistanek mezin a masiyên ku di nav avê de dizivirin vedibêje. Wekî din, dema ku ji aliyek an jor ve tê temaşe kirin, çîpên kasa hundur diherikin an diguhezin dema ku bi awayên cihêreng diguhezin, hestek dînamîzma jiyanê dide mirovan û wan bi qencbûn û bextewariyê tije dike. Gelek cûreyên şûşê hene, wek qedehên şerabê, qedehên sake, lewheyên, û qedehên keviran.

Unique Properties: Because of regularly arranging the motifs of matching cups that imagine a fun encounter, the design is full of dynamism that evokes vivid polka dots, splashes, or bait balls of a large school of fish spinning in the water.
Additionally, when viewed from the side or top, eye-shaped patterns that make up the motif of the inner cup shine through or reflect while changing in various ways, giving people a sense of the dynamism of life and filling them with healing and happiness.
Dimensions & Packaging: The product dimensions are as follows: In the main image, the wine glass is 58mm in diameter and 150mm in height, the sake cup is 60mm in diameter and 60mm in height, and the top view of the sake cup is shown in optional image #1.

Production Technology: The double-layered glassware is carefully ground and polished by hand using Japanese Kiriko cut glass technology.
Design Challenge: For the grinding wheel, a V-shaped wide-angle wheel was specially ordered. I also practiced and acquired the skill of making precise horizontal cuts in the lower part of the glass where it is difficult to see.
Research: In order to realize the design of Elan Vital, it was necessary to prepare a grinding wheel that could cut the shape of the eyes and the skill to make many horizontal cuts precisely in the lower part of the glass where the cut points were difficult to see.
Inspiration: Through Japanese Kiriko cut glass, the project has enriched human lives.
The idea of the pattern of Elan Vital started from the image of matching cups of liquor with the desire to regain fun reunions with close friends and family in a situation where people's connections tend to be weak due to the corona wreck.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2022 in Tokushima, Japan, and finished in August 2022.
Operation Flow: The eye-shaped pattern that makes up the motif of matching cups is a wide-angle V-cut, so when viewed from the side, the design on the inside changes and shines through, as shown in the main image. When viewed from the top, the pattern on the inside reflects and sparkles in various ways shown in optional image #1.
Additionally, the design is very smooth to the touch and shock-resistant because the cut of the eye-shaped pattern is shallow in depth.
Patents: The design is applying for design registration and will get copyright in registered designs in December 2022 in Japan.
