Pour Like A Pro

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Kikkerland Cube

— September 30, 2007 — Lifestyle
Well I'll be jiggered! Ever wondered how much of which liquor to pour into a drink? Some bartenders just seem to have a magical talent for this; well, that and years of practice. With the Kikkerland Cube, you can not only pour like a pro, but you can look stylishly clever as you do it! The little cube by designer Josh Owen is made out of aluminum and is marked at different points so you get the perfect measurements.

"The design of the Aluminum Cube Jigger evolved from an experiment to compress the six most common liquid measures used to mix alcoholic drinks, into the smallest possible dispenser," Owen said of his gadget. "The form was inspired by traditional box-shaped, Japanese sake cups, from which sake is sipped from the corners."

Kikkerland is Dutch for "frog land" which is another nickname for The Netherlands.

2. Cocktail Gadgets - The Kikkerland Cube represents the trend of cocktail gadgets, which cater to the home bartender and add a touch of style to the art of mixing drinks.
3. Japanese-inspired Design - The Kikkerland Cube showcases the trend of Japanese-inspired design, where traditional shapes and minimalist aesthetics are used to create innovative products.
Industry Implications
