About Icy Bicchiere da cocktail
Icy è un bicchiere da cocktail progettato per bevande ghiacciate e cocktail stratificati. Ogni pezzo è soffiato a bocca in uno studio in Finlandia e modellato in uno stampo di legno. Un'antica tecnica veneziana crea la superficie craquelé simile al ghiaccio, mentre la forma segue la moderna semplicità scandinava. Il bordo è rifinito alla fiamma per ottenere un profilo liscio. Il bicchiere misura 80 mm di diametro e 100 mm di altezza, il che conferisce una sensazione di solidità in mano. Ogni bicchiere è firmato e numerato. L'obiettivo è creare oggetti quotidiani durevoli, capaci di resistere per decenni.
