About Icy Kokteiļu glāze

Icy ir kokteiļu glāze, kas radīta atdzesētiem dzērieniem un slāņainiem kokteiļiem. Katrs eksemplārs ir ar muti pūsts Somijas studijā un veidots koka veidnē. Sena Venēcijas tehnika rada saplaisājušo ledaino virsmu, savukārt forma atspoguļo modernu Skandināvijas vienkāršību. Mala ir apstrādāta ar liesmu, lai iegūtu gludu apmali. Glāzes diametrs ir 80 mm un augstums 100 mm, kas rokā rada stabilu sajūtu. Katra glāze ir parakstīta un numurēta. Mērķis ir radīt izturīgus ikdienas priekšmetus, kas kalpo gadu desmitiem.

Research: The starting point of the process has been to design objects that the user attaches emotional value to. Glasses are made to last for decades.
