About Icy 鸡尾酒杯

Icy 是一款专为冰饮与分层鸡尾酒设计的鸡尾酒杯。每一只杯子均在芬兰的工作室中以人工吹制而成，并借助木质模具塑形。古老的威尼斯工艺赋予杯身冰裂般的表面质感，而造型则遵循现代斯堪的纳维亚的简约美学。杯口经火焰处理，形成圆润顺滑的边缘。杯体直径 80 毫米、高 100 毫米，握持时手感扎实稳重。每只杯子均有签名与编号。设计初衷是打造可历经数十年使用的耐久日常器物。

Design Challenge: The creative challenge was to combine Venetian tradition with modern simplicity in order to create harmony. The main technique in the process is crackling the glass. It was vital to find the perfect structure, so that the effect remain elegant and the surface is resistant. Durability and performance of the object were important goals in the process. Combination of techniques made the object extremely durable, which is important in drinking glasses designed to last for decades.
Research: The starting point of the process has been to design objects that the user attaches emotional value to. Glasses are made to last for decades. The contrasts in nature and the way they create harmony is desired to be captured in the collection. The rhythm of the glass making process ensures that each object has a individual texture that mimics the movement of the frozen ice.
Inspiration: The Icy Cocktail Glass is inspired by Northern nature and the different states of ice. The project combines ancient Venetian tradition with modern Scandinavian simplicity and usability.

The main aim of the design has been to create future classics, objects that are more than mere drinking glasses. Each studio made piece has unique charisma that is based on the subtle details of the object.
Project Duration: Icy glasses are studio made in Finland. The pieces are designed in 2020 in Helsinki.
Operation Flow: The designer tumbler offers a satisfyingly weighty feel in the hand. The moment when a unique Icy glass is used is special. It is designed to bring harmonious and atmospheric shades to the everyday life. When light is gleaming trough the glass with icy texture, the shadow looks like moving water.
