About Icy Kikombe cha Kokteli

Icy ni kikombe cha kokteli kilichobuniwa kwa ajili ya vinywaji vilivyopozwa na kokteli za tabaka. Kila kipande hupuliziwa kwa mdomo katika studio nchini Finland na kutengenezwa umbo lake katika kioo cha mbao. Mbinu ya kale ya Kivenisi huunda uso wenye mikwaruzo unaofanana na barafu, huku umbo lake likifuata usahili wa kisasa wa Kiskandinavia. Ukingo wake unamaliziwa kwa moto ili kupata mstari laini. Kikombe hiki kina kipenyo cha milimita 80 na urefu wa milimita 100, jambo linalotoa hisia ya uimara mkononi. Kila kikombe kimetiwa saini na kupewa namba. Lengo ni kuunda vitu imara vya matumizi ya kila siku vinavyodumu kwa miongo mingi.
