About Tube Drinking Glass
The design of the Tube glassware series is inspired by borosilicate glass, which is known for its material properties. The collection features a double wall structure, recalling a floating test tube inside a transparent external support. The flat-bottomed tumbler comes in three stackable sizes, suitable for hot or cold drinks. The material allows for various shapes and colours, and the glasses are ergonomic and dishwasher safe. The packaging is made from recycled cardboard, emphasizing sustainability.

- Production Technology
- The Tube glassware series is made from borosilicate glass. The material is known for its strength, durability and temperature resistance. The glass can be moulded and crafted in a variety of very different shapes and thicknesses. It is an infinitely recyclable material that can be re-melted again and again minimizing waste and environmental impact. The packaging is made from recycled cardboard.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was the necessity to create a series of modular and stackable drinking glasses in different sizes that also explore the formal possibilities of the material and make a visual statement.
- Research
- The design process was based on conceptual and formal research aimed at understanding material properties and opportunities of the category.
Product development and refinement through traditional sketching and 3D modelling. - Inspiration
- This design is inspired by the material itself: borosilicate glass. Going back to its origins - imagine the world of chemistry, labs & test tubes. All the right tools for a modern approach to mixology - perfectly crafted drinks & cocktails in a unique glass. The design proposes a double wall structure. This creates a floating test tube on the inside with transparent external support. Mind the gap!
- Project Duration
- The project was designed in Italy during the summer of 2024 as a quick side study for Officina Endorfino. An exploration and exercise in glassware design.
- Operation Flow
- Take a glass. Fill it up. Bring it to your mouth. Drink. Enjoy!
