This iconic form for the water vessel and the cup was born by playing and connecting two conical volumes. When I found this unique detail where two volumes meet by inbound curves acting as a grip, I felt it has something and should give it a go. Thanks to the nature of this shape, we can build glass towers like the buildings we see in cities.
