Design Shot

French designer Mathieu Lehanneur has created a glass with a stem that holds exactly one measure of alcohol for liqueur brand Ricard. Lehanneur designed the glassware primarily for bars and restaurants to enable the precise amount of Ricard's anise-flavoured spirits to be poured. The flared stem prevents ice cubes from distorting the measurement and forming crystals that detract from the taste while permanently sitting in the liqueur. A carafe for mixers has a similar spout to the glass stem and a larger base with the same conical shape.

Mathieu Lehanneur has completed a few projects recently, such as the interior of a cafe in Paris that serves food in edible packaging and a chandelier that looks like illuminated lengths of rope.
