The Sakurasaku Rock glasses by 100percent leave a cherry blossom imprint on wet surfaces — Japanese poetry in a glass. The YUAN Cups by HONiSTUDIO are handleless porcelain cups that enrich tea ceremonies and espresso rituals alike. The wine racks by Tu Las — like the FÜR FLASCHEN rack — bring bottles and glasses to the wall in style.
