Original handmade glass produced by the glass blowing masters of Murano who have been creating the greatest masterpieces in the world for over a thousand years. As authenthic Murano glass is made by hand, you can expect some imperfections that make it even more unique and precious.
Five stripes like the five senses: the glass is designed to involve them all and therefore to garantee an unique experience during the tasting
Taste and smell are intuitive and intrinsic to the drink itself; the view is tickled with the interplay of chiaroscuro, the touch is tickled by the peculiar shape of the not smooth glass, but embellished by sinuous waves of glass.
The hearing, finally, find contentment from pleasant and inviting sound of the ice hitting the black embossed bands… see for yourself!
Federico Illesi, biomedical engineering graduate and head of a company of web services, is passionate since forever into mixology and he is a lover of the art of good drinking, so much to achieve the certificates of Barman and Sommelier of distillates.
After several studies and tests, he decided to dedicate body and soul to one of the mostloved cocktails in the world: the Gin and Tonic!
Valerio Bottin, graduated in Architecture in Venice, in 1993 began collaborating with Foscarini and other lighting and interior design companies
He was always fascinated by the vertex and its expressions, he has always looked for shapes to the limit in his objects.
The meeting with Federico Illesi gave him the opportunity to devise and design glasses for a specific use, and to see them made by the Masters of glass of Murano
