About Glare Анхдагч үүрэг: Шилэн эдлэлийн цуврал
Номын текст: Crystal нь огтлосон шилний харааны хэлийг бат бөх полипропилен материалаар дахин тайлбарлаж, цэвэр гоо зүйг өндөр гүйцэтгэлтэй ашиглах боломжтой хослуулжээ. Түүний призм хэлбэрийн геометр нь гэрэлтэй харилцан үйлчилж, үнэт чулуу мэт гялалзсан байдлыг бий болгон, уух сав суулгын мэдрэхүйн чанарыг сайжруулдаг. Шаардлага өндөртэй зочломтгой орчинд зориулан боловсруулсан энэхүү загвар нь дэгжин байдлыг алдагдуулахгүйгээр аюулгүй байдал, хөнгөн жин, давхарлан өрөх боломжийг баталгаажуулдаг. Энэхүү цуврал нь тав тусгай зориулалтын төрлийг багтаасан бөгөөд тус бүр нь нэгдсэн харааны өвөрмөц байдлыг хадгалахын зэрэгцээ үүргээ оновчтой гүйцэтгэхээр сайжруулагдсан нь хуванцар уух сав суулгыг тэсвэр тэвчээртэй шийдэл болгон өргөмжилж байна.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Glare reimagines the iconic crystal glass aesthetic through the advantages of polypropylene: lightweight, shatterproof, and highly durable.
Its prismatic surface texture captures and refracts light, creating a refined, jewel-like visual effect that elevates the drinking experience. Designed for demanding, high-end HoReCa environments, Glare goes beyond functionality, transforming everyday beverage service into a memorable sensory experience. By focusing on the subtle details that define luxury, the series delivers a new standard where elegance meets resilience. - Dimensions & Packaging
- The series consists of five core typologies:
Shot Glass – 60 ml / Ø 46–47 mm / H 70 mm
Whiskey Glass – 300 ml / Ø 79–80 mm / H 95 mm
Wine Glass – 350 ml / Ø 77–78 mm / H 192 mm
Beer Glass – 600 ml / Ø 81–82 mm / H 165 mm
Cocktail Glass – 350 ml / Ø 68–70 mm / H 160 mm
All products are stackable (where applicable), lightweight, and optimized for professional service efficiency. - Tags

- Production Technology
- The Glare series is manufactured using precision injection molding with high-quality, foodsafe polypropylene.
Advanced mold engineering enables the creation of crystal-like optical effects, typically associated with glass, within a durable polymer structure. Despite its lightweight nature, the product offers high impact resistance, is dishwashersafe, and suitable for intensive industrial use. All components are fully recyclable and available in translucent color variations that enhance light interaction. - Design Challenge
- One of the primary challenges was achieving a crystal-like optical effect using polypropylene, a material not traditionally associated with high light refraction.
Balancing conflicting requirements such as transparency, prismatic clarity, durability, and impact resistance required an integrated design and engineering approach.
Through iterative prototyping and precise mold development, a refined equilibrium between aesthetics, safety, and performance was successfully achieved. - Research
- The development process was driven by in-depth analysis of user behavior and operational needs within the HoReCa sector.
Key focus areas included visual clarity, ergonomics, stackability, and durability. Multiple design iterations were explored through both hand sketching and advanced 3D modeling tools.
Close collaboration with engineering teams ensured optimal mold performance, high surface quality, and precise light interaction resulting in a product that meets both aesthetic and industrial standards. - Inspiration
- The Glare series draws inspiration from the dynamic interplay of light, geometry, and reflection. Architectural glass facades, rhythmic shadow patterns, and the refined brilliance of traditional cut crystal are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
This visual language is translated into polypropylene, a material aligned with today’s fast-paced, flexible lifestyles, merging timeless elegance with modern practicality. The result is a design that responds directly to the HoReCa sector’s need for both aesthetic distinction and operational durability. - Project Duration
- TThe design process began in January 2024 in Izmir and was completed in April 2025. The product was subsequently launched under the Kapp brand.
- Operation Flow
- Glare redefines beverage presentation through both performance and atmosphere.
Its ergonomic form and non-slip prismatic surface ensure secure handling in fast-paced service environments. Lightweight construction improves mobility, while stackability enhances storage efficiency.
Beyond functionality, Glare creates a distinctive ambiance: whether poolside, at beach venues, or exclusive events, it delivers the elegance of glass with the safety of polymer. Light reflections animate the liquid, transforming each drink into a visual highlight. - Patents
