About Brilliant Olive Oġġetti tal-Mejda tal-Ħġieġ

Id-disinn tar-ragħa taż-żebbuġa jissimbolizza l-vitalità dejjiema bħala rappreżentazzjoni tal-paċi, l-għerf u l-prosperità. Il-weraq huma arranġati f'pari alternattivi tul ir-ragħa, u joħolqu mudell spirali li jissinifika tkabbir. Xi pari ta' weraq jixbhu qlub, u jqajmu sensazzjoni ta' sħana u paċi. Iż-żebbuġ b'gradient iżidu lmes mistiku, bil-weraq u ż-żebbuġ imqassma bħal biċċiet ta' puzzle. Mil-ġenb, il-weraq li jaqbdu f'xulxin jiffurmaw motiv kumpless. Meta jiġu osservati minn fuq u mimlija b'xarba, il-mudelli tal-weraq ta' ġewwa jirriflettu, u joħolqu disinn jixbah għall-ħajja u jleqleq.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties: The olive, a symbol of peace, wisdom, and prosperity, is elegantly crafted in Kiriko glass. The design features olive branches with pairs of leaves arranged alternately in a spiral pattern, evoking a sense of growth. Some leaves are heart-shaped, representing warmth and tranquility. Gradient-colored olives reflect humble intelligence. The leaves and fruits are arranged like jigsaw puzzle pieces, enhancing their lively appearance when light passes through. This creates a shimmering effect, resembling living olive leaves, even when viewed from above as a drink is poured.
Dimensions & Packaging: The product dimensions are as follows: The sake glass is 60mm in diameter and 70mm in height in the main image. In optional image #1, the wine glass is 58mm in diameter and 150mm in height, and the sake cup is 60mm in diameter and 60mm in height. The top view of the sake cup is shown in optional image #2.

Production Technology: The double-layered glassware is carefully ground and polished by hand using Japanese Kiriko cut glass technology.
Design Challenge: Specially ordered wide-angle V-cut grinding wheels are introduced. Additionally, precisely applying wheels to the contact points with glass has been practiced and mastered.
Research: Custom-cutting wheels for olive leaves have been implemented. Additionally, wide wheels express the fantastic gradient of olives, requiring precise adjustment of the contact point with the glass during cutting. Advanced techniques are essential in cases where the glass is dark and difficult to see.
Inspiration: Inspired by the serene olive groves of Shodoshima, renowned for its olive production in Japan. Olive trees, revered as symbols of peace, wisdom, and prosperity, have been interwoven with human life from ancient times to the present. Striving to capture the enduring vitality and wisdom that nature embodies, the foundational concept of the design was meticulously crafted.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2024 in Tokushima, Japan, and finished in January 2025.
Operation Flow: The wide-angle V-cut olive leaf pattern creates an intricate, mesmerizing design when viewed from the glass's side. The pattern on the reverse side overlaps with the front, evoking the mystery of life. As shown in optional image #2, when a drink is poured and viewed from the top, the inner olive leaf pattern reflects each other, resulting in a complex, shimmering design as if the olive leaves have come to life.
Patents: The design is applying for design registration and will get copyright in registered designs in December 2025 in Japan.
