HI / TSUKI means the Sun and Moon in Japanese.
Inspired by astronomical diagrams from the 15th to 19th centuries, this glass translates their relationships into form and function. Its subtle proportions create a base that appears to float slightly above the surface, giving the object a sense of lightness.
Rather than depicting the universe itself, the glass gives form to the way we have imagined its relationships.

The glass is hand-blown by skilled artisans to a delicate thickness of approximately 1 mm, creating a light and smooth sensation against the lips.
The rim is carefully refined and polished, allowing the material to meet the body with a subtle, seamless touch.
