OOO 330 Glass

About This Product

A specially designed glass for the perfect serving of beer. Its simplicity belies the careful design consideration to shape, size, proportion and capacity which ensures maximum enjoyment of any drink.

OOO carefully studied and tested various capacities before finding the sweet spot of 330ml, also the same size as one standard bottle. We then added a little extra capacity for some satisfying foam. The result is slightly smaller than many draft beer glasses, but it means you will enjoy the last mouthful of beer as much as the first. A small detail perhaps, but it makes a huge difference.

OOO opted to use Borosilicate glass, which is an unusual choice for this purpose. It is lightweight and very clear, but also durable and heat resistant. The cold cut edge on the glass is quite fine but does not feel sharp. It is another unusual detail that gives a more subtle feel on the lips when you drink from it. It’s almost as if it’s not there!

There are two key reasons for using borosilicate glass. The first is that it is formed with a manufacturing technique which allows OOO to create a nearly uniform wall thickness on the sides and the base of the glass. By combining this characteristic with a very carefully studied curvature continuous blend on the base, OOO was able to create the optical illusion of not being able to see the thickness of the glass itself when it is full of beer. Second, borosilicate glass is extremely lightweight, so even when full it feels feather light. The result is a glass which defies the senses and appears to be barely there.

About OOO

OOO doesn’t call itself a company – it’s a project, located at the meeting point of culture, lifestyle, and design. It was founded by Chen Chingwen and Nicol Boyd. Ms. Chingwen was originally the CEO of a design studio, focused on helping traditional industries modernize. Mr. Boyd is an industrial designer, good at taking small details from daily life and using them as inspiration to produce works.

Their goal is not to continuously develop new products; instead, they want to create a conversation between culture and objects. The aim of this new collaboration is to enable exploration beyond the traditional boundaries of their design practice.
