About 2182 Vessel Kikombe cha Divai

Maandishi ya Kitabu: 2182 Vessel ni kikombe cha divai cha kauri kilichoundwa kubeba shampeni ya hali ya juu. Umbo lake linarejelea vyombo vinne vya kihistoria vya kunywea: Patera, Kylix, kikombe cha Tazza na kikombe cha champagne coupe. Mdomo mpana wa chombo huruhusu harufu kuenea haraka. Unywaji hufanyika katika hatua mbili. Sehemu ya juu isiyo na kina hubeba kiasi cha kwanza na kusaidia hisia ya harufu. Sehemu ya kati iliyobana hupunguza kasi ya oksidishaji, hivyo divai iliyo katika sehemu ya chini yenye kina zaidi huendelea kudumisha ladha yake. Kikombe kina upana wa milimita 50, kina cha milimita 50 na urefu wa milimita 140.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties
The wine glass is designed with the feature of big opening shared by the four types of glasses, which can enable the aroma to be quickly diffused. I hope to mobilize the user's senses as much as possible with more attraction from the perspectives of smell and taste.
The depth of the upper part is designed as per the extremely shallow state of the Tazza cup. The Tazza cup was regarded as a symbol of social status in Italy during the 16th century. To drink from such a shallow glass without spillage, the superb craftsmanship as well as the user's attention on the drink itself are also indispensable.
Dimensions & Packaging
Width 50 mm x Depth 50 mm x Height 140 mm

Production Technology
Vessel made of ceramic materials
Design Challenge
The wine glass is designed to specially contain the premium champagne. The shape is designed by reference to four glass shapes of "Patera", "Kylix", "Tazza cup" and "champagne coupe".
Research
The speculative design attempts to encourage the drinkers to more focus on the drinking process with a better drinking experience through the ceramic structure.
Inspiration
Since the shape of wine glass will bring influence on the user's sense of taste and smell, I’ve studied various existing wine glasses during the design to decide on the shape and the wine type it’s suitable to contain.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2021 in London and finished in February 2022 in Jingdezhen.
Operation Flow
The drinking process will consist of two stages: the stage in the shallow upper part and the stage in the deep lower part. When the drinker starts to enjoy the wine in the upper part, the large opening of the glass can help the aroma diffuse more quickly to agitate the olfactory experience. When enjoying the wine in the lower part, because the small diameter in the middle can reduce the oxidation rate of the wine so that the taste will not be changed.
