We see a lot of great design work coming from students, and the Olive Martini Glass is a prime example. Beth Fuller designed it this past Fall for one of her grad school industrial design classes at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Because students are best at describing their own work, I’ll let Beth tell you about the design: “The Olive Martini Glass is inspired by the martini’s iconic counterpart: the olive. Both the form and function of the glass showcase the olive. Its base is reminiscent of the shape of an olive and is designed to be held comfortably in the palm of the hand, while there is a hole in the lip of the glass to accomodate olives on a toothpick, as both a garnish and a unique decorative element.” Beth… I know you probably aren’t mass producing these yet, but you must let me know when that day comes! Can I pre-order some?

Sorry, but that thing is just incredibly out of proportion and incredibly ugly. Martini glasses have elegance - this is a kid’s toy.

I have to agree, this is pretty gross.

I’m surprised to see this project on the JoshSpear website. I think as a grad student’s concept it is ok, but doesn’t match my expectations for the quality of posting I usually see on this site.

It looks like a prototype to me– maybe all the kinks havent been hammered out. But sign me up for one when they’re produced!

Hey Alex, D et al……you all need to get your heads in line…where are your postings????? This Martini glass has form and function! I think you all need get out more and have some martinis. Then you might be able to really understand this work of art!
