'LevitatingCUP' by Joel Paglione is drinkware that defies gravity and hovers in the air. His team has taken his original [floating cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serena-antigravity-humidifier) one step further than before and created a whole set of items to choose from including dessert cups, plates and a pillow for presentation. The brand has also developed a system for its drinkware that no longer requires a wire, making the items portable and aesthetically pleasing. The floating items would be an interesting addition to at-home parties, bars and restaurants. The futuristic drinkware brings the 'Jetsons' cartoon to real life.
