How could people enhance their life quality of eating by reducing oil in dinners? But make this process unconscious and optimistic?

Norlan Whisky Glass

Inspired by nature, digitally crafted, and meticulously refined with a master whisky distiller, the Norlan Whisky Glass has been designed to capture whisky's complex flavors and aromatics and deliver them to the senses like never before. The featherweight, double-walled structure features specially developed protrusion forms inside the glass. When whisky is swirled within the bowl, these forms generate a standing wave shape, increasing the surface to air ratio and rate of oxidization, thereby reducing the presence of ethanol for more expressive aromas and an improved drinking experience.

N1 Series

The N1 Series is a story of balance and precision. A minimal hollow-handle design ensure these knives are well balanced and naturally fit a chef's grip.

The creative concept of the brand uses the link between the salmon and the bear food chain, presented here by a chef that signs his food creations. The typology for the main name transmits strength, modernity, and a premium aspect, unlike the one used to target the products that follow a clean and sophisticated line.

30s

The 30s Wine Glass by Saara Korppi is particularly designed for white wine, but it can also be used for other beverages, too. It has been made in a hot shop using old glass blowing techniques, which means every piece is unique. Saara’s goal is to design high quality glass that looks interesting from all angles and, when filled with liquid, allows light to reflect from different angles adding extra enjoyment to drinking. Her inspiration for the 30s Wine Glass comes from her previous 30s Cognac Glass design, both products sharing the shape of the cup and playfulness.
