2021
Dimensions : 110 x 130 x 70 mm
Material : Mouth blown crystal glassware
Project for the exhibition CUP (Copenhagen)
This project started from an abstract idea about the origin of cups. What could be the most basic cup for human beings? I’ve realized the simplest way of drinking is out of cupped hands. The easiest way to drink from a water source. The most intuitive way of containing liquid without any additional tool.
The movement of drinking from two hands has a notion of humbleness, almost religious (like praying) feel to it and gives a sense of holding a precious thing
