Hypnotic Pirouetting Tumblers

Shtox is an Incredible Glass You Have to See to Believe

— March 4, 2014 — Lifestyle
It's easy when you first see the Shtox glass in action to assume that it works due to magic as opposed to being the product of intelligent design.

Made from high-quality 24%-lead crystal in Germany, the Shtox glass can be spun on any hard surface and works even when it's full. The spinning of the lowball tumbler combined with its spiral design, creates an entrancing effect where you can't seem to pull your eyes away, until it loses momentum and starts slowing down. Trying to stop spinning it long enough for you to drink from it is almost impossible.

The Shtox tumbler was the winner of the 2013 Red Dot Design Award and it is easy to see why. I almost feel bad for the other items Shtox went up against, it's hard to compete with this amazing.
Trend Themes
1. Magic-inspired Glassware - The Shtox glass showcases the potential for glassware that creates entrancing visual effects through intelligent design and functionality.
2. Interactive Drinking Experience - The spinning feature of the Shtox tumbler offers a unique and immersive drinking experience that captivates users.
3. Award-winning Design - The recognition received by the Shtox glass at the 2013 Red Dot Design Award highlights the demand for innovative and visually captivating glassware.

3. Gift and Novelty Items - The Shtox glass presents a unique option for gift and novelty item sellers, allowing them to offer visually captivating and interactive products that stand out in the market.
