Residential and product designer Amit Apel tapped into his creativity again for the Apel Martini Glass. This eco-friendly glassware rests on refrigerated or frozen rocks to keep its contents cool without ice.
To use Amit Apel's martini glass, just stock the rocks inside your refrigerator or freezer. The colder the rocks, the longer your beverage will keep its temperature. Contact the Amit Apel Design Studio at info@apeldesign.com.
