Easy to Attach and Hold. "model-Y" Comes with a Wooden Handle.
The coffee server, which combines a minimalist, industrial design aesthetic with a charming appeal, first saw its masterpiece created through glassblowing by STUDIO PREPA, followed by the establishment of mass production systems, including the creation of new molds based on the drawings.
Production is handled by Koizumi Glass Manufacturing, established in 1912. Techniques honed over a long history are evident throughout, such as gathering molten glass with a blowpipe and shaping it through mouth-blowing.
The "model-Y" shown in the photo includes a handle. The handle, which integrates with the server's form while also serving as an accent, is crafted by Roam, a studio in Kagoshima. It is available exclusively at Dhal Homes (within UNEVEN HUB STORE) in Nagoya and Coffee County in Fukuoka.
