one fitting over the top of the other,
photographs courtesy of SAKAE KOGYO, that are a bit different, they are not glass and although mass produced, each one at some stage is hand polished,
they are made from highly durable tritan, the same material
that is used in baby bottles, which means that the tumblers can withstand
freezing and boiling temperatures,
the glass-like shine is the result of hand-polishing each and every cup.
the pair of tumblers are named uenosuke (older sibling) and
shitanosuke (younger sibling), a whimsical and playful name that implies they
are the perfect pair, the company collaborated with Sakae Industries, a 40-year
old company specializing in high-grade transparent plastics,
Taro Mukasa, an illustrator and toy designer at creative
agency Zariganiworks came
across a manga panel in which the protagonist declares that his hobby is
drinking water, they teamed with the product designers at Tent Design, to produce the paired glasses,
the tumblers are available in 3 colours (amber, olive and smoke) and 2 sizes (small and large), and are available here.
