Floating Carafe Bottoms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vasiliy Butenko's Slice Glass Has a Sculptural Appeal

— August 19, 2011 — Lifestyle
Drinking liquor and spirits can be an art form all on its own, therefore it is only appropriate that the decanters that hold these alcoholic beverages would be just as artistic -- enter the Slice Glass. The Slice Glass boasts deceptively simple form, especially when empty; however, when filled, it takes on a sculptural aesthetic that is far more pleasing to the eye than any other traditional carafe.

Created by Ukraine-based product designer Vasiliy Butenko, the Slice Glass makes the liquid inside appear as though it were constantly falling. This sense of movement gives the unusual distribution of content a dynamic look that creates an event out of everyday drinking. The Slice Glass also has a stunning surreal presence.
Trend Themes
1. Artistic Decanters - Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating decanters with unique artistic designs that enhance the aesthetic appeal of the liquid inside.
2. Dynamic Glassware - Opportunities for disruptive innovation exist in developing glassware that creates the illusion of movement and adds an element of dynamism to the drinking experience.
3. Sculptural Carafes - Innovative opportunities can be found in designing carafes with sculptural aesthetics that elevate the visual appeal of the liquid inside.
Industry Implications
1. Alcohol Manufacturing - There is potential for disruptive innovation in creating unique and artistic decanters that capture the essence of the alcoholic beverage.
2. Glassware Manufacturing - Opportunities exist to disrupt the glassware industry by developing dynamic glassware that adds an interactive and visually captivating element to drinking experiences.
3. Home Decor and Design - Disruptive innovation can be explored in the home decor and design industry by creating sculptural carafes that serve as both functional and aesthetic pieces.
