About Brilliant Olive Vetro da Tavola
Il design del ramo d'olivo simboleggia una vitalità duratura come rappresentazione di pace, saggezza e prosperità. Le foglie sono disposte a coppie alternate lungo il ramo, creando un motivo a spirale che simboleggia la crescita. Alcune coppie di foglie ricordano dei cuori, evocando calore e pace. Le olive sfumate aggiungono un tocco mistico, con le foglie e le olive disposte come pezzi di un puzzle. Visto di lato, le foglie sovrapposte formano un motivo complesso. Visto dall'alto e riempito di bevanda, i motivi delle foglie interne si riflettono, creando un design scintillante e vivido.

- Production Technology
- The double-layered glassware is carefully ground and polished by hand using Japanese Kiriko cut glass technology.
- Design Challenge
- Specially ordered wide-angle V-cut grinding wheels are introduced. Additionally, precisely applying wheels to the contact points with glass has been practiced and mastered.
- Research
- Custom-cutting wheels for olive leaves have been implemented. Additionally, wide wheels express the fantastic gradient of olives, requiring precise adjustment of the contact point with the glass during cutting. Advanced techniques are essential in cases where the glass is dark and difficult to see.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the serene olive groves of Shodoshima, renowned for its olive production in Japan. Olive trees, revered as symbols of peace, wisdom, and prosperity, have been interwoven with human life from ancient times to the present. Striving to capture the enduring vitality and wisdom that nature embodies, the foundational concept of the design was meticulously crafted.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2024 in Tokushima, Japan, and finished in January 2025.
- Operation Flow
- The wide-angle V-cut olive leaf pattern creates an intricate, mesmerizing design when viewed from the glass's side. The pattern on the reverse side overlaps with the front, evoking the mystery of life. As shown in optional image #2, when a drink is poured and viewed from the top, the inner olive leaf pattern reflects each other, resulting in a complex, shimmering design as if the olive leaves have come to life.
- Patents
- The design is applying for design registration and will get copyright in registered designs in December 2025 in Japan.
