- Design Challenge
- A glass shape was developed based on the dried paradise palm fruit, that meets the product expectation of the single-piece press method in terms of angle and form. The production underwent three form changes. The most challenging part of the process was achieving the fluidity of the form and the angles for the molds to come out smoothly. Since efficiency in production is a crucial point for the factory, form should have satisfied both the designer's vision and the factory's requirements.
