The Olive Martini Glass

Posted on January 19, 2007 Under Design

We see a lot of great design work coming from students, and the Olive Martini Glass is a prime example. Beth Fuller designed it this past Fall for one of her grad school industrial design classes at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Because students are best at describing their own work, I’ll let Beth tell you about the design: “The Olive Martini Glass is inspired by the martini’s iconic counterpart: the olive. Both the form and function of the glass showcase the olive. Its base is reminiscent of the shape of an olive and is designed to be held comfortably in the palm of the hand, while there is a hole in the lip of the glass to accomodate olives on a toothpick, as both a garnish and a unique decorative element.” Beth… I know you probably aren’t mass producing these yet, but you must let me know when that day comes! Can I pre-order some?
