Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The Ripple series offers both a visual and tactile experience with its rhythmic surface texture. Thanks to the durability of polypropylene, it reinterprets the elegance of traditional glass through modern techniques, making it suitable for professional use.
Its lightweight and impact-resistant structure makes it ideal for the luxury segment of the HoReCa industry. Designed for refined venues such as beach bars, yachts, poolside areas, and rooftop lounges, Ripple delivers more than just a way to serve drinks it creates a memorable moment for the user.
Dimensions & Packaging: The series consists of the following four main forms:

Whiskey glass: Content 300 ml, Diameter 79 - 80 mm, Height 95 mm
Wine glass: Content 350 ml, Diameter 77 - 78 mm, Height 192 mm
Beer glass: Content 600 ml, Diameter 81- 82 mm, Height165 mm
Cocktail glass: Content 350 ml, Diameter 68 - 70mm, Height 160 mm
Tags: Polypropylene glass, HoReCa tableware, Drinking glass, Durable drinkware, Luxury barware
Production Technology: The Ripple series is produced using special molds and injection technology, with high-quality, food-safe polypropylene. Crystal like effects reminiscent of glass are achieved through precise mold engineering. Despite its lightweight structure, it offers high impact resistance, is dishwasher-safe, and durable enough for industrial use. All forms are made from recyclable materials and are available in translucent color options.
Design Challenge: Creating a three-dimensional surface effect in polypropylene requires high precision in mold production. At the same time, the surface must be durable, ergonomic, and aesthetically pleasing.
Reproducing the elegance of glass using a safe material presents a design and manufacturing challenge of balance one that is achieved through interdisciplinary collaboration.
Research: Throughout the design process, user behaviors and usage scenarios within the HoReCa sector are thoroughly analyzed. Visual clarity, stackability, and ergonomic use are prioritized. To optimize the design both aesthetically and technically, various prototypes are developed. Traditional sketching methods are supported by digital 3D modeling tools throughout the process. A multidisciplinary collaboration with the engineering team is carried out to ensure that the final molded product is free from deformation, has high surface quality, and establishes a strong interaction with light.
Inspiration: The Ripple series takes inspiration from rhythm and flow. The wave-like traces left by water and the repetitive patterns in nature shape its design language. Reinterpreting the classic glass form, the series blends aesthetics, lightness, and durability. Its rhythmic texture, paired with architectural simplicity and modern materials, adds refined dynamism to any setting.
Specially developed for the HoReCa sector, it enhances the sensory experience of beverage service in luxurious spaces like beach clubs, poolside lounges, and upscale restaurants.
Project Duration: The design process begins in January 2024 in Izmir and is completed in April 2025. The product is launched shortly thereafter under the Kapp brand.
Operation Flow: The Ripple series, with its simple yet striking form, invites a rethinking of how drinks are presented. The wave-inspired surface not only enhances ergonomic grip but also offers a practical, non-slip advantage.
Its stackable design saves space behind the bar and allows for safe use in high-paced service environments without the worry of breakage.
What truly defines the series is its interaction with light: the rhythmic patterns on the surface refract light, giving the glasses a vibrant and sophisticated look in any setting. This transforms ordinary drink service into an aesthetic experience.
