¿Qué os parece la forma de beber vino o hacernos un cóctel que nos propone el diseñador checo Martin Jakobsen?
No sé si os gustará o no pero coincidiréis conmigo en que originales sí que son. A mi me parecen muy originales y, sobre todo, minimalistas. Reluce todo, desde el contenido hasta los propios vasos.
Jakobsen los dio a conocer al mundo en la Feria de Decoración de Dinamarca y, hasta la fecha, se están vendiendo como rosquillas. A mi me chiflan.
Martin Jakobsen has created a range of glassware for bartenders in search of unique props, including a drinking glass shaped like a pumpkin and a vessel designed for smoking cocktails.
Czech designer Jackobsen designed and made the two pieces in his studio, and intends them to be used by "open-minded bartenders seeking something special".
The first, named CuCu, is a drinking glass inspired by the slumped shape of a summer squash in a vegetable patch. A drinking straw is inserted through the glass top, which curves gently upwards.
Jacobsen describe su colección de vasos ( a la que ha llamado CuCu y Duplex glass) como un “experimento tecnológico” basado en nuevas formas de decorar la comida o la bebida. Cada vaso está hecho a mano, por lo que no encontraremos nunca dos iguales.
Jakobsen describes the CuCu glass as an "experiment in glass technology", basing the design on finding new ways to style food. As each glass is handmade, each one looks slightly different.
CuCu is joined by Duplex – a glass designed specifically for cocktails that use dry ice, which Jakobsen notes are a current trend in the drinks industry
Aunque os parezca lo contrario estos vasos son ingeniería pura y dura. Algunos tienen incluso varios espacios para impedir que se mezclen, por ejemplo, el hielo con el cóctel, o varios aberturas para líquidos o para humos.
Como veis Jakobsen aborda el diseño como una auténtica ciencia y en su “laboratorio” experimenta con todo tipo de ideas que ahora nos parecen extravagantes pero, estoy seguro, en unos años formarán parte de nuestro día a día.
Resembling a set of two round laboratory flasks, the Duplex features an inner drinking glass suspended within a larger outer a glass that can be used for dry ice. Each glass has its own opening – one for liquid and one for smoke.
A few years ago he came up with the idea of unconventional glassware for bars, hotel, restaurants, he worked primarily with the spherical shape and its variations.
CuCu and Duplex are the latest in a line of unconventional glassware created by Jakobsen, including a storage jar with a giant ball of cork as a stopper and a glowing uranium-glass tumbler.
