The project explores the possible marriage between kitchen crafts
and a basic industrial process of manufacture. These drinking glasses are made 100% of melted sugar which is roto-moulded into
a hollow drinking vessel and drive inspiration from Murano glass art
and cinema break away glass props. They can be batch produced
by using a custom made silicon mould and their use is intended for one
night events like private cocktail parties, gallery openings, etc.
The users swirl they glasses in a dramatic gesture reminiscent of
enjoying fine liquor, and as they start to slowly dissolve, they
progressively render their contents sweeter. Once the alcohol is
consumed, the object devolves into a lollipop, turning the concoction into
a more infantile experience. The glasses are completely edible and whatever is not consumed can then be re melted and reformed or simply dissolved in water leaving no waste behind.
