About Trinity Glasi ya Kunywea

Trinity ni mkusanyiko wa kisasa wa vyombo vya kioo unaofafanua upya glasi ya kunywea kupitia muundo unaoweza kugeuzwa. Kila kimoja kati ya vipande vitatu hufanya kazi katika mielekeo miwili, kikitoa ujazo na uzoefu tofauti ndani ya umbo moja. Jiometri yake ya kimuundo mdogo huondoa tofauti kati ya sehemu ya chini na ukingo, ikiwaruhusu watumiaji kufafanua upya matumizi kupitia ishara rahisi. Ikitengenezwa kwa kioo cha borosilicate kilicho imara na kinachoweza kurejelezwa, Trinity inaunganisha uendelevu na usahihi, na kuleta muundo uliosafishwa lakini wa kuvutia unaohamasisha mwingiliano.

Unique Properties
Three sizes for various occasions. This set consists of three visually identical glasses with different volumes. The rigid geometry of the shape is enriched not only by colors, but also by tongue-in-cheek evocative design, making these glasses a valued addition to any bar or household. The different volumes of the "stool" half call to be filled with various drinks.
Dimensions & Packaging
Trinity S: Content 200/200ml, Diameter 103/64mm, Height 130mm
Trinity M: Content 200/300ml, Diameter 103/64mm, Height 160 mm
Trinity L: Content 200/380ml, Diameter 103/64mm, Height 190mm

Production Technology
The Trinity glassware series is made from borosilicate glass, known for its durability and resistance to hot and cold temperature. The glass can be molded and crafted in a variety of thicknesses. It is an infinitely recyclable material that can be re-melted again and again, minimizing waste and environmental impact.
Design Challenge
The primary creative challenge was reconciling reversibility with ergonomic and structural integrity. Designing a glass that performs equally well in two orientations required eliminating the conventional hierarchy between base and rim, while maintaining stability, comfort and visual balance.
Research
The research question centered on whether a single glass form could successfully operate in two orientations without compromising stability, ergonomics, or aesthetic coherence. Material research focused on the properties of borosilicate glass - thermal resistance, weight reduction potential, and tensile strength - allowing exploration of refined wall thickness while maintaining durability.
Inspiration
The project started for the 2024 Traga Open Call. This Drinkware collection originates from the concept of double-use glasses, objects capable of shifting function through inversion. The three glasses are conceived as reversible forms. Each piece is designed to function in two orientations, allowing variations in volume, proportion, and drinking experience. By simply turning the object, the user redefines its purpose.
Project Duration
The project was initiated in 2024, in response to the Traga Open Call. Concept development began with research into reversible drinkware and functional double-use systems.
Operation Flow
The user intuitively explores both ends of the glass, discovering distinct rim diameters and capacities. The act of turning the glass becomes a part of the ritual. Flow is guided by calibrated geometry. Rim thickness is optimized for comfort and controlled liquid delivery, while curvature directs the beverage smoothly toward the lip.
