# Crystal Clear Cuddle Cups The Liquid Skin Drinking Glass Has You Sip Like Second Nature By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-10-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-skin-drinking-glass References: [lucyd](http://www.lucyd.com/index_eng.htm) If you were to bend down over a stream with the intent to consume its water, how would you raise it from the earth to your lips? The Liquid Skin drinking glass encourages this primal action of cupping your hands together to scoop the liquid by assuming the form of your fused palms. The beautiful [mouth-blown glass bowl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-top-glass) takes a delicate concave shape with dimples that accommodate the placement of your thumbs. The [rounded base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juno-collection) makes Lucy.D's design most secure in both hands, consequently conjuring more focus than you would muster while drinking from a conventional cup. There's something very poetic about the way one sips from this vessel. The exquisite transparency of the Liquid Skin drinking glass strives for an invisibility so that one may feel he is consuming water straight from a natural source. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Primal Drinking:** Designing glasses that emulate the experience of drinking water from natural sources, creating a more immersive and mindful drinking experience. - **Poetic Vessels:** Designing aesthetically pleasing drinkware that enhances the experience of drinking, evoking a sense of creativity and inspiration. - **Transparent Innovation:** Exploring new materials and methods to create transparent and minimalistic drinkware that provides an unobstructed view of liquid, promoting a more immersive and satisfying drinking experience. ### Where This Applies - **Tableware:** Developing unique and creative drinkware designs that create more enjoyable and captivating drinking experiences. - **Home Decor:** Incorporating artistic and poetic design elements into home decor, creating an immersive and inspiring environment. - **Glass Blowing:** Innovating in the field of glass blowing to create more unique and aesthetically pleasing designs for tableware and home decor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Upcycled Glass Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmm-design.md) - [Minimalist Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-glassware.md) - [Modern Sippy Cup Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-sippy-cup.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Nesting Gem-Like Drinking Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upsidedownside-glasses.md) - [Sensor-Guided Tea Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundsip.md) - [Shifting Hydration Cup Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilting-water-cup.md) - [Libation-Cooling Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamas.md) - [Stackable Chalice Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cali.md)
