Pour one out for Italy-based TRAGA. Actually, make it two, because the newly-launched Milanese design brand is pulling double duty with its debut product, the Martini Shot Glass. Designed by Daniel Nikolovski, who hails from Skopje, North Macedonia – a city known for its brutalist architecture – the bifunctional glassware makes it easy to say yes to another drink.
The minimalist drinkware is characterized by a cone-shape form that’s fixed atop a cylindrical base, recalling the familiar silhouette of a martini glass. Rather than tapering into a slim stand, the cylinder is unsealed, allowing you to flip the glassware upside and turn it into a shot glass. Each glass comes with a steel skewer, a necessity if you love a garnish in your drink.
The glasses are made from borosilicate glass, a material championed for its durability and resistance to temperature. It’s also a sustainable type of glass that can be remelted. Available in four color ways – Amber & Lilac, Teal & Blue, Blue & Pink, and Transparent – the beautiful vessels serve up a modern day iteration of two types of drinking glasses, elevating your barware collection with their muted colors and elegant design.
