Cups of Excellents #1: Robert Asami
From: Robert Asami
This is the Definitive collaboration on the Rose wineglass from Progress Japan.
I typically don’t like considering purchases of one-off cups, let alone colorful, stylized ones.
I’m a sucker for titanium and was swayed by the titanium + glass coating when I visited Definitive last year. From afar it appears dull and understated, but it shows off its complexity under varying lighting scenarios.
The thumbprints are nearly impossible to wipe clean, reminding me of titanium’s oleophilic tendencies.
Can it be purchased: Possibly, though logistics from Japan presents a challenge. Product link here
