The design basis and inspiration was Oscar-Niemeyer's Cathedral in Brasilia, which works with the image of the crown. The challenge was to implement the design element “crown” in a contemporary way.

The luminosity and intensity of the drink should be highlighted. So, the designers worked with the effect of the cut glass, which makes the drink shine brightly through the refraction of the wedge structure.

Even on the unfilled glass, a high brilliance was achieved through the imitation glass cut. The structure has a wonderful haptic effect, while the longest rays cleverly conceal the shape of the seam, which is inevitable due to the nature of the production.

The slim, rising shape is also underlined by the structure. Its strong base guarantees stability in handling, even in catering. The design is classy, proud, luxurious and at the same time minimalist and very contemporary.
